Which Should You Buy?
This one's a proper mixed bag - some swear by it, others reckon it's a generic let-down. If you're after a budget-friendly spicy leather that leans youthful and don't mind reapplying, give it a sniff. But don't expect anything groundbreaking from this divisive scent.
Pure Italian shadows Roberto Cavalli Just Cavalli Man, the 2013 spicy-leather woody. The peppery pimento opening into a vetiver-and-leather heart is recognisable, but Perfume Parlour pushes the warm-spice up front and softens the leather, so it wears a touch sweeter and less rugged than the Cavalli.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Its moderate projection and fresh-spicy-leather profile make it suitable for casual wear or the office, as it's unlikely to offend. However, its perceived youthfulness and lack of depth limit its use for formal events and more intimate date settings. Given its weak longevity on many, it's also a good gym scent.
Seasons
A spicy leather that comes alive in autumn and winter cool and works in spring; the warmth feels stifling in summer heat.
Occasions
Bold and sensual, it suits evenings, dates and confident casual wear more than the office or formal occasions.
