Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - J'adoube EDP
A divisive scent, J'adoube splits opinions. Some find it a sophisticated, fruity leather statement, while others dismiss it as a synthetic 'fruitchouli' clone at a scandalous price. Definitely not a safe blind buy.
Statement
Our Verdict - Crimson Accord EDP
Crimson Accord follows Mind Games' J'adoube, that fruity-rose semi-gourmand with a leather heart. Perfume Parlour captures the pomegranate-and-rose core and warm leathery base, leaning the fruit a touch sweeter while the leather reads a little softer than the original's vintage-suede richness.
