Which Should You Buy?
This one's a divisive pleaser. Some call it a gem, others a generic flop. What it lacks in strong personality, it makes up for in clean versatility and a bargain price tag. Don't expect groundbreaking, but it's far from the worst.
Perfume Parlour's budget read of Karl Lagerfeld for Him, the fresh aromatic mandarin-and-lavender. It captures the bright citrus-lavender opening and warm amber-sandalwood drydown, leaning a touch sweeter and simpler - and like the modest-performing original, it stays light and close.
