Which Should You Buy?
Black Opium Intense amps up the original's signature coffee-vanilla with an absinth twist, creating a rich, decadent, and unforgettable night-out statement. Not for the shy, this is a modern femme fatale in a bottle.
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.

Seasons
The deep coffee, vanilla, and absinth notes, along with its pronounced sweetness and warmth, make this ideal for fall and winter, while the berry and floral heart gives it enough lift for spring. It can be heavy and cloying in hot weather.
Occasions
This is a seductive, bold scent that shines for evening, date, and formal occasions due to its intense sweetness and projection. It's too powerful for most office or sport situations.
Seasons
The coffee, chocolate and vanilla gourmand accord is built for autumn and winter, feeling heavy in summer heat.
Occasions
Its warm, sweet, easy-going character suits casual days, dates and cosy evenings more than formal or sporty settings.
