Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

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

Poulata Wood is Perfume Parlour's budget take on John Varvatos Oud. It opens with Tobacco, Juniper Berries, Nutmeg, leads into a heart of Saffron, Cinnamon, Pepper, and dries down to Oud, Cedar, Labdanum. The overall character is warm spicy with aromatic and oud 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.
