Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Guilty Pleasures EDP
This one's a decadent, grown-up gourmand that promises to make you smell utterly edible. It's a dark, boozy chocolate delight with a warm embrace, perfect for those who want to project luxurious confidence without being sickly sweet.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Spicy Java EDP
Perfume Parlour's Spicy Java chases Xerjoff Golden Dallah - the roasted-coffee-and-spice opening over rose, oud and incense with a nutty tonka base is recognisable, but this dupe flattens the luxurious, evolving complexity and strong projection of the niche original.

Season and Occasion Fit

Guilty Pleasures

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its rich, gourmand nature and strong sillage make it unsuitable for an office setting, but it truly shines on a date or formal evening out where its luxurious warmth can be appreciated. While it's a bit much for everyday casual wear, a confident individual could pull it off.

Spicy Java

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

The roasted coffee, warm spices and nutty tonka-cacao base are made for cold autumn and winter wear and overwhelm in summer heat.

Occasions

Best For:
Date
Also Works:
Casual Formal

Bold, warm and gourmand - tailored to evenings, dates and dressed-up occasions; too rich and spicy for sport or daytime office.
