Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - African Leather EDP
This one's a head-turner, no doubt. African Leather is a captivating spicy-leather that manages to be both distinctive and broadly appealing, if you can get past the price and potential batch variations.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Word Of Honour EDP
Perfume Parlour's affordable interpretation of Frederic Malle - Promise - a floral fragrance led by Pink Pepper, Rosemary, Apple, with warm spicy depth. It captures the gist of the original at a fraction of the cost, rendering a touch simpler and quieter.

Season and Occasion Fit

African Leather

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Spring

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

Occasions

Best For:
Office Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

With its strong projection and noticeable sillage, African Leather might be a bit much for a conservative office, but reviewers often wear it there, suggesting moderate application. Its unique blend of spicy leather makes it a fantastic choice for dates and formal events, though perhaps too refined for casual wear during the day.

Word Of Honour

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

The floral character is happiest in spring and summer - the freshness reads bright and clean in milder weather; the dupe's lighter build means it can struggle to project in the opposite season.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office Sport

Its floral, warm spicy signature leans toward casual and daily wear - approachable enough for date use without overwhelming a room.
