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 - Real Honour EDP
Perfume Parlour's affordable interpretation of Arabian Oud Arabian Knight - a floral fragrance led by Jasmine, Citron, with warm spicy depth. The dupe trades some of the original's depth and longevity for a wallet-friendly price, keeping the recognisable character.

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.

Real Honour

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

The floral character is happiest in spring and summer - the freshness reads bright and clean in milder weather; the dupe's lighter build means it can struggle to project in the opposite season.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office Sport

Its floral, warm spicy signature leans toward casual and daily wear - approachable enough for date use without overwhelming a room.
