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 - Luxury EDP
Perfume Parlour's affordable interpretation of Decadence MJ - a powdery fragrance led by Bulgarian rose, with floral depth. Expect a softer, closer-to-skin take on the original - the signature intact, the projection gentler.

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.

Luxury

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

The powdery character is happiest in spring and summer - the freshness reads bright and clean in milder weather; the dupe's lighter build means it can struggle to project in the opposite season.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office Sport

Its powdery, floral signature leans toward casual and daily wear - approachable enough for date use without overwhelming a room.
