Perfume Parlour Designer German For Men is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2014. Designer German For Men opens with Mandarin and Lavender, settles into a heart of Green Pepper and Violet, and dries down to a base of Amber and Sandalwood. Perfume Parlour's Designer German For Men carries a Favourite verdict, a aromatic-led wear.

Perfume Parlour's budget read of Karl Lagerfeld for Him, the fresh aromatic mandarin-and-lavender. It captures the bright citrus-lavender opening and warm amber-sandalwood drydown, leaning a touch sweeter and simpler - and like the modest-performing original, it stays light and close.

About

Designer German follows Karl Lagerfeld for Him: a fresh, uplifting opening of mandarin orange and lavender, bright and easygoing. The heart adds a powdery violet softened by a peppery green twist, keeping it crisp and a little spicy. The drydown settles into a warm, musky amber and sandalwood, giving the fresh top a cosy landing. Against the original, the PP take keeps that approachable aromatic-fresh DNA but reads a shade sweeter and more linear, smoothing over the pseudo-synthetic edge of the designer. Karl Lagerfeld for Him was always a light, modest performer (often just a few hours), and this dupe is similar - close projection, a soft fresh-woody trail. An easy, versatile aromatic-fresh for daytime, the office and casual wear across most of the year.
