Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Italian Man EDP
Perfume Parlour's affordable interpretation of Valentino Uomo - a gourmand fragrance led by Myrtle, Bergamot, with citrus depth. As a budget interpretation it sits lighter and more linear than the designer, but the core signature is there.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Very Irrésistible pour Homme EDT
A contemporary men's fragrance that delivers a zesty spice kick with a refined finish, ideal for those seeking an assertive yet sophisticated scent.
