Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Midnight Oud EDP
Perfume Parlour's affordable interpretation of Under The Stars - a warm spicy fragrance led by Black pepper, with leather depth. Expect a softer, closer-to-skin take on the original - the signature intact, the projection gentler.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Cuir 28 EDP
A luxurious unisex leather fragrance with a bold but refined presence.
