Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Long Ship EDP
Perfume Parlour's affordable interpretation of Drakkar Noir - a aromatic fragrance led by Rosemary, Artemisia, Lavender, with floral depth. Expect a softer, closer-to-skin take on the original - the signature intact, the projection gentler.
Favourite
Our Verdict - By EDT
A legendary, much-missed masterpiece from D&G's golden era. 'By' is a total crowd-pleaser that delivers a potent dose of creamy, masculine sophistication. It's universally adored for a reason: sexy, unique, and it just works.
