Which Should You Buy?
This Harrods exclusive is a modern classic, divisive for some with its 'old money' barbershop vibe, but a masterful blend of sparkling citrus and elegant depth. It's not a blind buy for its price tag, but offers undeniable quality and versatility.
Perfume Parlour's affordable interpretation of Neroli Extrait - a citrus fragrance led by Bergamot, Lemon, Petitgrain, with floral depth. As a budget interpretation it sits lighter and more linear than the designer, but the core signature is there.

A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.
Occasions
Its versatile and refined profile, described as a 'masterpiece gentlemen's scent' suitable for dressing up or down, makes it work across many occasions. While often strong and long-lasting, its elegant nature prevents it from being too casual or distracting for the office, and perfectly suits formal events.
Seasons
Best in spring and summer - the citrus, floral profile suits those conditions, while extremes of heat or cold flatten the dupe's lighter composition.
