Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Pour Monsieur EDT
Effortlessly elegant and timelessly refined, Pour Monsieur EDT is the gold standard for classic masculine citrus chypres. Its subtle complexity never shouts, but always commands quiet respect.

Our Verdict - Mexican Oak EDP
Perfume Parlour's budget version of Acqua di Parma Colonia Quercia, that classy citrus-woody cologne. It captures the bergamot-cardamom opening and the mossy, woody base, just rendered flatter and with the original's premium oakmoss richness simplified.

Season and Occasion Fit

Pour Monsieur

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer
Also Works:
Autumn

Pour Monsieur shines in spring and summer due to its crisp citrus and aromatic freshness, remaining light and invigorating even in heat. Its subtle mossy and woody base makes it wearable in early fall, but it lacks the warmth and depth for cold winter days.

Occasions

Best For:
Office Date Casual
Also Works:
Formal

Its refined, understated projection makes it an ideal office and casual scent, while the classic sophistication works for dates and even formal settings if subtlety is desired. It is too restrained and elegant for sporty or highly social occasions requiring boldness.

Mexican Oak

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn
Also Works:
Summer Winter

The bright citrus opening and mossy woody base make it a transitional scent, best in spring and autumn where the green-woody character is most at home.

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Formal
Also Works:
Date

Refined and grown-up, it slots into office and formal daytime wear, with enough ease for casual daily use.
