Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Actions Count Eau de Parfum
A budget-friendly Perfume Parlour interpretation of Xerjoff's More Than Words (2012), Actions Count leans into the original's smoky resinous opening of olibanum and labdanum, a warm ambergris heart, and an oud-amber drydown for wearers who want the niche-luxury mood at a fraction of the price.
Our Verdict - Shaari Eau de Parfum
This one's a proper love-it-or-hate-it affair. Expect potent spice, deep leather, and a divisive oud that some find heavenly and others, well, a bit like a chicken coop. Definitely not a safe blind buy, but incredible value if it clicks for you.

Season and Occasion Fit

Actions Count Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

Smoky olibanum, labdanum, ambergris and a deep oud-amber base land squarely in cold-weather territory; winter is the strongest fit with fall close behind. The resinous density and warmth would feel oppressive in summer heat.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

An evening-coded oriental with a niche-luxury backbone reads best for date nights and formal dinners where presence is welcome. Office and casual wear are weaker fits because the smoke and oud are too assertive for daytime contexts; sport wear is a non-starter.

Shaari Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Spring

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Its strong projection and longevity make it unsuitable for office settings where it could be overwhelming. It truly shines for formal events and dates, offering a unique, confident aroma, but it's too heavy for casual daytime wear or sports.
