Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - 06 Incense Rose EDP
This is a proper love-it-or-hate-it affair. Expect a fizzy, vibrant opening that gives way to a truly unique incense-rose blend. It's potent, artistic, and certainly not for the faint of heart, but those who 'get' it are utterly enchanted.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Story EDP
Perfume Parlour's affordable interpretation of Amouage - Myths Man - a powdery fragrance led by Orris, Chrysanthemum, with woody depth. Expect a softer, closer-to-skin take on the original - the signature intact, the projection gentler.

Season and Occasion Fit

06 Incense Rose

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Spring Summer

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions

Best For:
Date
Also Works:
Casual Formal

Its potent projection and longevity make it less suitable for the office, potentially overwhelming colleagues. However, its unique and sensual profile makes it ideal for dates and evening wear, lending a mysterious aura. Casual wear is possible if applied sparingly, but it's too heavy for sport.

Story

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