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.

A budget reading of Estee Lauder's Cinnabar. Sulfide captures the spicy clove-and-orange-flower heart and the incense-resin drydown that made the original an oriental landmark, but Perfume Parlour's version is simpler and flatter, with weaker projection than vintage Cinnabar's room-filling sillage.
