Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Lui Rochas
This discontinued gem is a love-it-or-hate-it affair, but fans rave about its unique blend of citrus and warm woods. Expect a truly opulent men's scent that sadly, you'll have to hunt down.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Earth For Men
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.
