Which Should You Buy?
This is a bold, divisive beast. Shem demands attention with its unique, challenging blend of leathery rose and earthy notes. Not for everyone, but those who 'get' it absolutely adore its powerful, sophisticated aura.
Card Wander Green is Perfume Parlour's cannabis-twisted take on Louis Vuitton Ombre Nomade - the same smoky oud, raspberry and rose with a green, herbal cannabis facet layered in. The dupe captures the opulent-but-edgy mood while rendering flatter and softer-projecting than the original.

Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
Shem's beast-mode performance and strong, oriental leather-rose profile make it completely unsuitable for the office or casual day wear. However, its luxurious, unique aroma is perfect for making a statement on a sophisticated date night or formal event, where its intensity can be appreciated.
Seasons
The smoky-green oud profile is firmly cold-weather and overpowering in summer heat.
Occasions
A bold, edgy oud built for evenings and dates rather than daytime or office wear.
