Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Manly
Perfume Parlour's affordable interpretation of D&G Masculine - a citrus fragrance led by Bergamot, Petitgrain, with aromatic depth. Expect a softer, closer-to-skin take on the original - the signature intact, the projection gentler.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Masculin
A lost treasure from the past, Bourjois Masculin is sorely missed by those who remember its sophisticated, classic aroma. It's often compared to some of the greats, so if you ever find a bottle, snap it up.

Season and Occasion Fit

Manly

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

Reach for it across spring and summer, where the citrus signature sits most naturally; outside those months its softer projection thins out faster.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office Sport

This one suits casual and daily settings; the easy, breezy character keeps it versatile for date rotation too.

Masculin

Seasons

Best For:
Spring

A spring fragrance - light, bright, made for the warmer turn of the year.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Office Casual

Its rich, classic chypre structure and leathery-musky base make it too substantial for athletic wear but perfect for formal and evening events. The aromatic and floral elements allow for a moderate presence in office or casual settings.
