Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Break Time For Men Eau de Parfum

A budget Perfume Parlour interpretation of Amouage Interlude Man (2012) by Pierre Negrin - the amber-led composition with oregano, opoponax and woody as the canonical signature. Honest dupe-fidelity at PP's budget price point.

Our Verdict - Sacreste Eau de Parfum

Sacreste is a divisive beast: an unapologetically 'churchy' incense, for some it's a nostalgic spiritual journey, for others, it's a flat, sour, or even synthetic mess that conjures images of burnt sofas. Test before you commit, because this ain't for everyone.
