Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Under the Stars EDT
A dark, smoky leather-oud composition that stands out in the Replica line, Under the Stars is evocative, daring, and best reserved for nights when you want to project intrigue and depth.
Statement
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.

Season and Occasion Fit

Under the Stars

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Spring

Best for cool nights and autumnal or winter wear thanks to the dense leather, oud, and resinous base. The spicy opening is slightly invigorating but the richness is too much for hot days.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

The smoky-leather and oud core is too assertive for sport or most offices, but feels alluring and enveloping for evening dates or formal occasions in the cold.

Midnight Oud

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

The warm spicy character is happiest in autumn and winter - cooler air gives the warmth room to bloom; the dupe's lighter build means it can struggle to project in the opposite season.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Office Casual

Its warm spicy, leather signature leans toward evening and daily wear - approachable enough for formal use without overwhelming a room.
