Which Should You Buy?
Divisive, unique, and utterly captivating, Eyes Closed splits opinions but delivers a warm, spicy hug that's more nuanced than a simple 'carrot cake'. It's bold, unexpected, and truly something special if you can embrace its quirk.
Perfume Parlour's budget take on Maison Margiela Replica Autumn Vibes - a crisp, peppery-spicy opening over an earthy carrot-seed and nutmeg heart, settling on a damp, mossy cedar base, like crunching through an autumn forest. PP captures the cosy, woodland-floor signature of the original, though it reads a touch flatter and lighter, with the mineral moss accord quieter. An evocative autumn woody for a fraction of the price.
