Which Should You Buy?
Afghan Cherry is Perfume Parlour's mash-up of Nasomatto Black Afgano and Tom Ford Lost Cherry - boozy sour cherry and almond bolted onto a dark, resinous bed of coffee, tobacco, oud and incense. The dupe captures the striking sweet-meets-smoky contrast but flattens both halves, sitting closer to the skin than the nuclear-performing Black Afgano.
This one's a divisive beast. Some adore its adventurous spirit and sweet, woody narrative, others find it shockingly similar to existing fragrances, overly sweet, or simply not 'Amouage enough'. Approach with caution and a sample before diving in.

A bold, statement-making blend built for evenings and dates rather than office or daytime wear.
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
Its depth and sweetness lean away from office wear, but its bold, luxurious character makes it a strong contender for dates and evening events. The prominent honey and woody accords suggest it's more suited for special occasions than everyday casual wear or physical activity.
