Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Oud Oriental EDP
This is a seriously polarising scent, with some finding it a heavenly, modern take on oud, while others are put off by what they perceive as an overpowering, synthetic violet. Definitely one to try before you buy.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Hypnotic EDP
Perfume Parlour's affordable interpretation of Ex Nihilo - Sweet Morphine - a powdery fragrance led by Lilac, Bergamot, with citrus depth. It captures the gist of the original at a fraction of the cost, rendering a touch simpler and quieter.

Season and Occasion Fit

Oud Oriental

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Its moderate sillage and longevity make it suitable for an evening date or formal event, where its luxurious and unique character can shine. It's too rich and complex for casual wear or sport, and could be a bit much for an office setting if over-sprayed.

Hypnotic

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

Reach for it across spring and summer, where the powdery signature sits most naturally; outside those months its softer projection thins out faster.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office Sport

This one suits casual and daily settings; the easy, breezy character keeps it versatile for date rotation too.
