Perfume Parlour 2018 EDP

U £ Statement

XI Time

Name: XI Time Eau de Parfum
Brand: Perfume Parlour

Perfume Parlour XI Time is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2018. XI Time opens with Bergamot and Sichuan Pepper, settles into a heart of Carrot Seeds, Fig, and Plum, and dries down to a base of Cashmeran, Cedar, Tonka Bean, and Labdanum. Perfume Parlour's XI Time carries a Statement verdict, a fresh-led wear.

XI Time chases Byredo's Eleventh Hour - that peppery bergamot and wild fig over cashmere woods and warm tonka. The spicy-fruity, contemplative mood comes through, but it renders flatter with softer projection, sketching the niche original's smooth woody depth rather than fully matching it.

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

XI Time opens with a peppery Sichuan bite and bright bergamot, the budget echo of Byredo's much-loved Eleventh Hour. A juicy, slightly earthy heart of plum, carrot seeds and wild fig gives it that signature fruity-green character, the fig at the centre just as in the original. The drydown is warm and woody - labdanum, olibanum, cedar and soft cashmere woods rounded by tonka and a transparent iso e super hum - that smooth, contemplative finish Eleventh Hour built its cult following on. Where the Byredo wears with moderate, well-mannered projection and decent longevity, this take reads flatter and simpler, the fig less three-dimensional and the woods thinner, settling closer to the skin. Still, it captures the spicy-fruity, woody-and-cosy spirit of Eleventh Hour - lovely for autumn and winter evenings and dates - at a fraction of the niche price, even if the original's plush smoothness is only suggested.
