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

Occasion is Perfume Parlour's budget take on Xerjoff Ouverture. It opens with Magnolia, Fig Leaf, Orange, leads into a heart of Ylang-Ylang, Cinnamon, Bulgarian Rose, and dries down to Incense, Cashmere Wood, Amber. The overall character is floral with fruity and citrus 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.
