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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Fall Winter

Best in autumn and winter - the woody, musky profile suits those conditions, while extremes of heat or cold flatten the dupe's lighter composition.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Office Casual

Keep it for evening and daily - the woody accord gives presence while the gentle projection keeps it crowd-friendly.

About

Resin Xviii is Perfume Parlour's budget take on Le Labo Labdanum 18. It opens with Musk, Vanilla, French Labdanum, leads into a heart of Patchouli, Tonka Bean, Resins, and dries down to Birch, Cinnamon. The overall character is woody with musky 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.
