Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Born In Roma Uomo EDT
A vibrant, sweet-mineral masculine with a bold, synthetic edge that stands out from the crowd. Born In Roma Uomo is playful and modern, best for nights out or casual confidence-never shy, always noticed.
Statement
Our Verdict - Oceanic Drift For Men EDP
Oceanic Drift chases Issey Miyake Le Sel d'Issey, the 2024 salty woody-aquatic. The bright sea-salt-and-ginger opening over an earthy vetiver heart is recognisable, but Perfume Parlour's brine reads thinner and the woody drydown is less refined and shorter-lived than the Issey.

Season and Occasion Fit

Born In Roma Uomo

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn
Also Works:
Winter

Born In Roma Uomo’s sweet, mineral-green freshness and moderate warmth make it shine in spring and fall, providing contrast to crisp air. Its sweetness and synthetic edge hold up in cooler months, but may be too much for peak summer heat.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office

Its sweet, modern, attention-grabbing profile is ideal for dates and casual wear, while moderate projection suits semi-formal settings. The synthetic-sweet character is less suited for formal or athletic environments.

Oceanic Drift For Men

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

A crisp salty aquatic built for spring and summer heat; the fresh marine character feels thin and out of place in cold weather.

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport
Also Works:
Date

Clean and energising enough for the office, daily wear, casual outings and active days; less suited to formal evenings.
