This one's proper divisive - folks either reckon it's a classy, modern barbershop masterpiece or a boring, overpriced old-school scent that smells like cleaning products. If you fancy a classic, woody aromatic with some citrus zing, give it a go; just don't expect it to blow your socks off.

Sandal Essence chases Acqua di Parma's Sandalo, that elegant citrus-to-creamy-sandalwood cologne. Perfume Parlour gets the bright opening and smooth woody heart, though it renders the sandalwood a touch flatter and less refined than the Italian original, with the same subtle, close-wearing trail.
