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

Italian Water is Perfume Parlour's budget take on Bvlgari Aqva. It opens with Mandarin Orange, Orange, Petitgrain, leads into a heart of Cotton Flower, Lavender, Seaweed, and dries down to Clary Sage, Amber, Woody Notes. The overall character is citrus with aromatic and woody facets. As a dupe it stays closer to the skin with softer projection and shorter wear than the original, but keeps the signature accord recognisable - an easy everyday way to enjoy the style.
