Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Hero EDP
Hero is a divisive beast: one minute it's a breathtaking, nuanced oriental, the next a bland, disappointing dud. Expectations are clearly high given the price, but it's hit or miss whether you'll find your own epic journey here.
Acquired
Our Verdict - New World EDP
Perfume Parlour's affordable interpretation of Louis Vuitton Noveau Monde - a leather fragrance led by Cacao, Leather, Oud, with oud depth. As a budget interpretation it sits lighter and more linear than the designer, but the core signature is there.

Season and Occasion Fit

Hero

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Its potent projection and long-lasting, rich accords make it too dominant for an office setting, but perfect for making a statement at formal events or on a date. It's a bit much for casual daytime wear due to its depth and intensity.

New World

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

Best in autumn and winter - the leather, oud profile suits those conditions, while extremes of heat or cold flatten the dupe's lighter composition.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Office Casual

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