Which Should You Buy?
This one's a proper dark horse, a creamy coconut dream that’s more sophisticated than your average tropical fare. Underrated, long-lasting, and a genuine compliment-getter that'll get people asking what you're wearing.
Mad Essence is Perfume Parlour's dupe of Franck Boclet's Madness, following its coconut-saffron-rum opening through to an oud-rose heart and sandalwood-amber-musk base. It's a fair rendition of the niche extrait's boozy, exotic gourmand character at a fraction of the price, though flatter and less intense than Boclet's concentrated original.

Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
Its potent projection and warm, sweet accords mean it's a bit much for the office but perfect for dates and evening events. The strong sillage and longevity mentioned in reviews suggest it shines where it can make a statement without overwhelming a confined space.
