Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Zafferano EDP
This one's a divisive bugger, half the crowd calls it a delicate skin scent and the other half a beast. What's not up for debate is the luxurious, complex blend of saffron, florals, and a surprisingly modern fresh bite. Definitely one to try before you buy.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Victory EDP
Perfume Parlour's Victory chases the legendary Joop! Homme - the tutti-frutti sweet citrus opening and dense vanilla-tonka base are recognisable, but this dupe thins out the cloying powerhouse strength and beast-mode longevity that made the 1989 original infamous.

Season and Occasion Fit

Zafferano

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer Autumn
Also Works:
Winter

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual Formal
Also Works:
Office

Given its moderate to strong performance reported by some and its luxurious, complex accord profile, this scent is ideal for dates and formal events. Its fresh elements and 'inoffensive' nature also make it suitable for office wear, but perhaps not a casual choice for everyone.

Victory

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

The dense sweet vanilla, spice and tonka base are made for cold autumn and winter wear and turn cloying in summer heat.

Occasions

Best For:
Date
Also Works:
Casual Formal

Sweet, bold and sensual - tailored to evenings and dates, with casual daily wear in cooler months; too heavy and sugary for sport or office.
