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

Monocots is Perfume Parlour's budget take on Blue Agava & Cacao. It opens with Grapefruit, Cardamom, leads into a heart of Sea Salt, Orchid, and dries down to Vetiver, Cinnamon. The overall character is warm spicy with citrus and fresh 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.
