This one's a proper wild card. Some reckon it's Calvin Klein's best-kept secret - a sweet, boozy, fruity delight with surprising longevity. Others, though, find it a synthetic, syrupy mess, like a rotten fruit or a sickly sweet headache. Definitely try before you buy, but if you do blind buy and love it, you've bagged a bargain beast.

Afghan Cherry is Perfume Parlour's mash-up of Nasomatto Black Afgano and Tom Ford Lost Cherry - boozy sour cherry and almond bolted onto a dark, resinous bed of coffee, tobacco, oud and incense. The dupe captures the striking sweet-meets-smoky contrast but flattens both halves, sitting closer to the skin than the nuclear-performing Black Afgano.
