Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Midnight Poison EDT
A truly iconic, much-missed masterpiece. Midnight Poison is a dark, enigmatic siren that continues to captivate and frustrate in equal measure, with the community still raging over its discontinuation. It’s a polarizing brew, but those who love it, really love it.

Our Verdict - Heritage Bois de Aoud | Abdul Samad Al Qurashi EDP
Perfume Parlour's affordable interpretation of Abdul Samad Al Qurashi - Heritage Bois de Aoud (Khashab Al Oud) - a citrus fragrance led by Mandarin, Bergamot, with floral depth. As a budget interpretation it sits lighter and more linear than the designer, but the core signature is there.
