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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall Winter

The woody character is happiest in autumn and winter - cooler air gives the warmth room to bloom; the dupe's lighter build means it can struggle to project in the opposite season.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Office Casual

Its woody, green signature leans toward evening and daily wear - approachable enough for formal use without overwhelming a room.

About

Xl Tie is Perfume Parlour's budget take on Xerjoff - 40 Knots. It opens with Green Notes, Salt, leads into a heart of Sea Water, Woody Notes, and dries down to Cedar. The overall character is woody with green and fresh facets. As a dupe it stays closer to the skin with softer projection and shorter wear than the original, but keeps the signature accord recognisable - an easy everyday way to enjoy the style.
