Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Azores For Men Eau de Parfum

A budget Perfume Parlour interpretation of Ormonde Jayne Ormonde Man (2004), the green-woody-resinous Linda Pilkington signature built around the rare black-hemlock heart that became one of British niche perfumery's most distinctive masculine references. PP customer reviews flag Azores as a notably faithful copy ('I cannot tell the difference comparing the oil to the original'; another wearer puts the similarity at 'mas de 95%'). Honest dupe-fidelity for autumn-winter and casual-formal wear.

Our Verdict - London Funk Eau de Parfum

London Funk is a proper divisive ol' scent, love it or hate it. Some find it a fresh, green wonder, others are saying it smells like a sweaty British Christmas tree or a dodgy men's changing room. Definitely one to sample first - this ain't for blind buying, mate.

Season and Occasion Fit

Azores For Men Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Autumn Winter

Also Works:

Summer

Black-hemlock-cedar-vetiver-sandalwood is firmly autumn-winter territory; the green-woody-aromatic character carries naturally into a cool spring. Less natural in warm summer where the resinous base reads heavy.

Occasions

Best For:

Office Date Casual Formal

Polished masculine green-woody with moderate projection fits casual day, business casual, and dinner wear evenly. Office-appropriate at any dosage. Too distinctive and resinous for sport.

London Funk Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:

Spring

Also Works:

Summer Autumn

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.

Occasions

Best For:

Casual

Also Works:

Date Sport

Its potent initial projection and unique, sometimes challenging 'funk' make it less suitable for formal or office settings. However, its fresh, green character and good sillage lend it to being a conversational piece in casual and some date situations, especially in warmer weather.
