Which Should You Buy?

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.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Only The Brave Wild EDP
Diesel Wild is a properly divisive scent, adored by some for its tropical coconut and spice, reviled by others as a 'pickle-juice' disaster. Definitely one to try before you buy, but if it works for you, expect compliments.
