Which Should You Buy?
A modern take on woody spice that's a bit of a divisive one; some find it a sophisticated, subtle masterpiece, others dismiss it as fleeting and smelling of 'leaky ballpoint pens'. If you're after a subtle, contemporary scent, it's worth a shot, but don't expect it to last.
Perfume Parlour's affordable interpretation of Jo Malone Birch And Black Pepper - a warm spicy fragrance led by Black Pepper, Cardamom, Mandarin Orange, with woody depth. As a budget interpretation it sits lighter and more linear than the designer, but the core signature is there.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
An autumn-weather scent at heart - warm leaves and shorter days territory.
Occasions
Its moderate projection and fresh, warm spicy accords make it suitable for office and casual wear without being overpowering. The subtlety might not shine in a loud formal setting, and it’s definitely not one for the gym.
Seasons
Best in autumn and winter - the warm spicy, woody profile suits those conditions, while extremes of heat or cold flatten the dupe's lighter composition.
Occasions
Keep it for evening and daily - the warm spicy accord gives presence while the gentle projection keeps it crowd-friendly.
