Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Black Opium Intense EDP
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.
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.
