Which Should You Buy?
This 70s powerhouse is a divisive beast: one part luxurious soap, one part gothic rose-leather beast, it's either a classic masterpiece or a headache-inducing anachronism. Love it or hate it, it certainly knows how to make a statement.
Perfume Parlour's Luxuriant chases Van Cleef & Arpels Pour Homme - the green-herbal opening, brooding rose heart and oakmoss-leather chypre base are recognisable, but this dupe softens the formidable strength and refined complexity of a true 70s masculine reference.

Performance
Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Occasions
Its potent projection and longevity make it unsuitable for the office, where it could overwhelm. The rich, dark character of leather and rose, coupled with strong performance, renders it ideal for formal events and romantic winter evenings, but far too heavy for casual or sport wear.
Seasons
The green-herbal, leathery oakmoss chypre suits autumn, winter and crisp spring days, turning heavy in summer heat.
Occasions
Classic, masculine and refined - tailored to formal occasions, evenings and the office, with enough depth for a dressed-up date; too serious for sport.
