Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Crave EDP
Crave is a divisive blast from the past, a fresh and sporty scent that perfectly captures Y2K youthful energy. For many, its unique, invigorating sparkle outweighs its often-criticised synthetic edge and short lifespan, making it a nostalgic favourite, albeit hard to track down.
Favourite
Our Verdict - NYC Urge For Men EDP
Perfume Parlour's affordable interpretation of CK Crave - a aromatic fragrance led by bright opening notes, with warm spicy depth. As a budget interpretation it sits lighter and more linear than the designer, but the core signature is there.

Season and Occasion Fit

Crave

Seasons

Best For:
Summer

A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.

Occasions

Best For:
Casual Sport
Also Works:
Office

Its fresh and clean nature makes it suitable for casual wear and sports, as many users attested it for gym or summer. However, its often-cited poor longevity and projection combined with a youthful, sporty vibe make it less ideal for formal settings or dates where more gravitas and presence are typically desired.

NYC Urge For Men

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

Reach for it across spring and summer, where the aromatic 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.
