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.

Our Verdict - Smoky Hinoki Essence EDP
Perfume Parlour's affordable interpretation of Hinoki & Cedarwood by Jo Malone London - a smoky fragrance led by Incense, with musky depth. Expect a softer, closer-to-skin take on the original - the signature intact, the projection gentler.

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.

Smoky Hinoki Essence

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

Best in autumn and winter - the smoky, musky 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 smoky accord gives presence while the gentle projection keeps it crowd-friendly.
