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

Reade is Perfume Parlour's budget take on Bond No 9 Lafayette Street. It opens with Bergamot, Flowers, Coriander, leads into a heart of Vanilla, Apple, Ambroxan, and dries down to Ambergris, Tonka Bean, Woody Notes. The overall character is amber with citrus and vanilla 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.
