Perfume Parlour's affordable interpretation of Arabian Oud Resala - a warm spicy fragrance led by Saffron, Vanilla, with vanilla depth. Expect a softer, closer-to-skin take on the original - the signature intact, the projection gentler.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Occasions
With its nuclear projection and longevity, Resala is too potent for most office environments, risking irritation. It shines brightest on dates and formal occasions where its luxurious, dramatic character can be appreciated. Casual wear is generally too much, and it's certainly not fit for sport.
Seasons
Best in autumn and winter - the warm spicy, vanilla profile suits those conditions, while extremes of heat or cold flatten the dupe's lighter composition.
Occasions
Keep it for evening and daily - the warm spicy accord gives presence while the gentle projection keeps it crowd-friendly.
