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

Pole Behaviour is Perfume Parlour's budget take on Abercrombie & Fitch First Instinct Him. It opens with Melon, leads into a heart of Citruses, Violet Leaf, Sichuan Pepper, and dries down to Amber, Musk, Suede. The overall character is fruity with citrus and powdery facets. Rendered for value, it is a little simpler and quieter than the designer version, yet faithful to the core character and easy to reach for day to day.
