Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - M7 EDT
M7 is pure legend, a pioneering oud that's either worshipped as a masterpiece or dismissed as a syrupy, 'old man' fragrance. It's divisive yet undeniably influential.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Vintage Empire EDP
Perfume Parlour's affordable interpretation of Millesime Imperial - a citrus fragrance led by bright opening notes, with amber depth. Expect a softer, closer-to-skin take on the original - the signature intact, the projection gentler.

Season and Occasion Fit

M7

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its strong, powerful sillage and long-lasting nature make it unsuitable for the office, but perfect for evenings. The rich, dark character of oud and amber naturally leans towards date nights and formal events, with a casual wearability on cooler days.

Vintage Empire

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

Best in spring and summer - the citrus, amber profile suits those conditions, while extremes of heat or cold flatten the dupe's lighter composition.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office Sport

Keep it for casual and daily - the citrus accord gives presence while the gentle projection keeps it crowd-friendly.
