Short pyramids, striking names

Most perfumes are Eau de Parfum in 100, 50 and 7.5 ml. Names read like moods, drinks or one-liners: Moscow Mule, Miami Shake, Ode to Dullness, Not a Perfume. The brand states the pyramids very briefly, often one note per level, with a key-notes line. Not a Perfume is built on a single ingredient, cetalox, and Not a Perfume Superdose carries it at 20%.
