Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Hinoki & Cedarwood EDP
This one's a proper head-scratcher. Some reckon it's a classy, unique woody masterpiece, a spa in a bottle. Others are getting cleaning products, synthetic messes, or Christmas potpourri. It’s certainly got people talking, but not always agreeing.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Noire Sorghum EDP
Perfume Parlour's affordable interpretation of Black Vetyver Cafe - a woody fragrance led by bright opening notes, with warm spicy depth. As a budget interpretation it sits lighter and more linear than the designer, but the core signature is there.

Season and Occasion Fit

Hinoki & Cedarwood

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Spring

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office Formal

Its woody, aromatic, and clean profile makes it versatile, suitable for casual wear or dates where a sophisticated, yet subtly intriguing scent is desirable. However, its debated projection and uniqueness might be too much for some formal settings and it's too structured for sport.

Noire Sorghum

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

Best in autumn and winter - the woody, warm spicy profile suits those conditions, while extremes of heat or cold flatten the dupe's lighter composition.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Office Casual

Keep it for evening and daily - the woody accord gives presence while the gentle projection keeps it crowd-friendly.
