Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Desire Extreme EDT
This one's a proper marmite fragrance - you'll either love how it swerves the crowd-pleasers with its bold, dark character, or you'll find it an overwhelming, synthetic mess. Definitely not a safe blind buy, but if you're after something unique and masculine, it could be a winner.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Want Intense EDP
Perfume Parlour's affordable interpretation of Alfred Dunhill - Desire Extreme - a citrus fragrance led by Saffron, Blood Orange, Bergamot, with warm spicy depth. Expect a softer, closer-to-skin take on the original - the signature intact, the projection gentler.

Season and Occasion Fit

Desire Extreme

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Spring

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.

Occasions

Best For:
Date
Also Works:
Casual Formal

Its moderate projection and longevity mean it won't overpower an office, but the darker, more intense leather and spicy accords are better suited for evening and casual wear. The polarizing nature also suggests it's not universally office-safe.

Want Intense

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

Best in spring and summer - the citrus, warm spicy profile suits those conditions, while extremes of heat or cold flatten the dupe's lighter composition.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office Sport

Keep it for casual and daily - the citrus accord gives presence while the gentle projection keeps it crowd-friendly.
