Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Cinnabar EDP
A powerhouse of pure spice and amber that screams vintage glamour like few others. It's a divisive beast: some find it a sublime, comforting classic, others an overpowering relic. The reformulation saga means hunting down a vintage bottle is often a must for true fans.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Native Mix EDP
Perfume Parlour's affordable interpretation of Old Spice Original - a citrus fragrance led by Nutmeg, Lemon, Orange, with warm spicy depth. It captures the gist of the original at a fraction of the cost, rendering a touch simpler and quieter.

Season and Occasion Fit

Cinnabar

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

With its intense warmth, powerful sillage, and incredible longevity, Cinnabar isn't an office-friendly scent. It excels as a statement piece for date nights and formal events, particularly in cooler weather, where its rich character can truly shine.

Native Mix

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

Best in spring and summer - the citrus, warm spicy profile suits those conditions, while extremes of heat or cold flatten the dupe's lighter composition.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office Sport

Keep it for casual and daily - the citrus accord gives presence while the gentle projection keeps it crowd-friendly.
