Perfume Parlour Wood Sequence is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2014. Wood Sequence opens with Oud, Clove, Saffron, and Elemi, settles into a heart of Rose, Jasmine, and Ylang-Ylang, and dries down to a base of Musk, Leather, and Amber. Perfume Parlour's Wood Sequence carries a Statement verdict, a oud-led wear.

Wood Sequence targets Montale's Aoud Melody - the smooth, sweetish oud balanced against saffron, clove, leather and a jasmine-rose heart. The dupe captures the oud-and-flowers signature but renders it flatter, with the gold-dust floral nuance and leathery warmth simplified and longevity cut to a skin-close presence.

About

Wood Sequence opens with saffron and clove over a smooth, metallic oud lifted by a touch of elemi - the spiced, leathery start that defines Montale's Aoud Melody. A floral heart of jasmine, ylang-ylang and rose follows, lending the seductive 'gold dust and white flowers' character the original is known for, before a base of musk, amber and leather warms it down. Against the Montale original the dupe reads flatter and a little less refined: the smooth, polished oud and the delicate floral shimmer are simplified, and the moderate longevity is trimmed further. It wears as a sensual oud-floral built for cool weather, evenings and dressier occasions - smoother and more approachable than the harsher Montale ouds. Projection is modest and longevity skin-close after the opening hours, the usual budget trade. As a smell-alike it captures the leathery oud-and-flowers melody while losing some of the polish and tenacity.
