Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Richwood EDP
A benchmark sandalwood chypre: Richwood is powerfully opulent, yet seamlessly blended. Its deep woods, plush rose, and subtle fruit radiate timeless luxury and elegant confidence.
Acquired
Our Verdict - With The Dark EDP
Perfume Parlour's affordable interpretation of La Colle Noir - a fruity fragrance led by Lemon, with floral depth. Expect a softer, closer-to-skin take on the original - the signature intact, the projection gentler.

Season and Occasion Fit

Richwood

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn Winter

Richwood's opulent sandalwood, patchouli and vanilla make it best suited for cooler temperatures, excelling in fall and winter when its richness and warmth blossom. The touch of citrus and rose allows some versatility in spring, but it is too heavy for most summer wear.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its bold projection and luxurious profile make Richwood ideal for formal events and special dates, while its richness might overwhelm in casual or office settings. Far too opulent for sporty occasions.

With The Dark

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

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