Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

About

Hectic is Perfume Parlour's budget take on Giorgio Armani Mania Him. It opens with Saffron, leads into a heart of Cedar, Vetiver, and dries down to Amber, Musk. The overall character is woody with warm spicy and amber facets. It is a lighter, more linear interpretation than the original - less of the expensive nuance, but the headline accord comes through clearly for casual everyday wear.
