Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Woods EDT
A versatile scent that fits many occasions, balancing freshness with woody undertones.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Forest For Men EDP
Perfume Parlour's affordable interpretation of Abercrombie & Fitch Woods - a citrus fragrance led by Citrus, with aromatic depth. The dupe trades some of the original's depth and longevity for a wallet-friendly price, keeping the recognisable character.

Season and Occasion Fit

Woods

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn
Also Works:
Summer

The fresh and woody accords make it suitable for spring and fall, while the lighter tones fit summer more than winter.

Occasions

Best For:

Also Works:
Formal

Forest For Men

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

The citrus character is happiest in spring and summer - the freshness reads bright and clean in milder weather; the dupe's lighter build means it can struggle to project in the opposite season.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office Sport

Its citrus, aromatic signature leans toward casual and daily wear - approachable enough for date use without overwhelming a room.
