About

Varnished Resin is Perfume Parlour's budget take on Le Labo - Gaiac 10 Tokyo. It opens with Musk, leads into a heart of Guaiac Wood, and dries down to Olibanum, Cedar. The overall character is woody with musky and smoky 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.
