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

Wood Empire is Perfume Parlour's budget take on Essential Parfums Bois Imperial. It opens with Vetiver, Akigalawood, leads into a heart of Basil, Woody Notes, and dries down to Patchouli, Ambroxan, Timur. The overall character is woody with aromatic and amber 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.
