Which Should You Buy?
Perfume Parlour's version of the discontinued Ralph Lauren Romance Silver. The dry, manly cypress over violet and guaiac-wood-musk that earned the original a cult following is captured faithfully - reviewers happily mix the two - with Silver Glamour reading a touch flatter than the sophisticated original.
This one's a cult classic, spoken of in hushed, reverent tones by those who remember it. A genuine, unique scent that people are desperate to see brought back. If you can find a bottle, prepare to pay a king's ransom; otherwise, you're out of luck.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
The dry cypress, spicy violet and woody-musk profile suits cooler months with enough freshness for spring.
Occasions
A refined, versatile woody-aromatic ideal for the office and daily wear, with the polish for formal settings.
Seasons
A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.
Occasions
Its moderate sillage and elegant woody-violet structure make it refined enough for office or formal wear, while the sensual musk and woody dry down shine on a date. It's too sophisticated for sport and leans more towards dressed-up casual rather than everyday wear.
