Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - A*Men EDT
The original king of men's gourmand - a nuclear, caramel-laced juggernaut that wraps you in roasted coffee, patchouli, and sticky sweetness. Unapologetically bold, divisive, and unforgettable.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Earth For Men EDP
Earth For Men is Perfume Parlour's version of the much-loved Rochas Man, a coffee-and-cappuccino gourmand over sweet vanilla. The dupe lands the cosy mocha-and-vanilla heart, though the budget oil renders it sweeter and a little flatter than the smooth, balanced original.

Season and Occasion Fit

A*Men

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Spring

A*Men's thick, sweet, and spicy-gourmand character is ideal for cold weather, thriving in fall and winter. The heavy caramel, coffee, and patchouli notes can easily overwhelm in heat, so it's best avoided in summer.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

A*Men is too bold and enveloping for typical office or sporty wear, but its confident projection works for nights out, formal events, and romantic occasions, especially in the cold.

Earth For Men

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

The coffee, chocolate and vanilla gourmand accord is built for autumn and winter, feeling heavy in summer heat.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office

Its warm, sweet, easy-going character suits casual days, dates and cosy evenings more than formal or sporty settings.
