Les Absolus d'Orient Patchouli Ardent EDP

Which Should You Buy?
Perfume Parlour's affordable interpretation of Byredo Black Saffron - a powdery fragrance led by Black Violet, Leather, with leather depth. Expect a softer, closer-to-skin take on the original - the signature intact, the projection gentler.
Don't let the name fool you - this ain't your usual patchouli. It's a loud, complex rose-leather bomb that some adore and others find a bit much. A high-quality oriental for those who like to make a statement.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
Best in spring and summer - the powdery, leather profile suits those conditions, while extremes of heat or cold flatten the dupe's lighter composition.
Occasions
Keep it for casual and daily - the powdery accord gives presence while the gentle projection keeps it crowd-friendly.
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
With its beast-mode projection and longevity, this is too assertive for most offices. However, its luxurious and complex profile makes it a standout for formal events and dates, where its presence will be noticed and appreciated.
