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

Tertiary Shield is Perfume Parlour's budget take on Molton Brown Amber Cocoon. It opens with Spicy, leads into a heart of Woody, and dries down to Amber, Floral. The overall character is woody with amber and aromatic 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.
