Perfume Parlour Diametric is an Eau de Parfum. Diametric opens with Mandarin, Rosemary, Basil, and Tarragon, settles into a heart of Anise, Neroli, Geranium, and Lily Of The Valley, and dries down to a base of Cedar, Vanilla, Tonka Bean, and Almond. Perfume Parlour's Diametric carries a Favourite verdict, a sweet-led wear.

Diametric For Men recreates Givenchy Pi, the cult creamy-vanilla gourmand masculine. It nails the aromatic-green opening and that comforting almond-tonka-vanilla heart, but the dupe softens the powdery barbershop polish and wears closer, trading Pi's solid early projection for a cosier, more linear budget version.

About

Diametric For Men opens fresh and green with basil, rosemary, tarragon and a juicy mandarin, the aromatic overture that gives Pi its early lift. A soft floral-anise heart of neroli, geranium and lily-of-the-valley bridges into the real attraction: a warm, balmy base of vanilla, tonka bean, almond, benzoin and cedar - creamy, slightly powdery and very comforting. Against Givenchy Pi, this dupe captures the unmistakable sweet-vanilla-almond DNA and the old-school cosy warmth, but the original's richer projection and powdery refinement are dialled back, leaving a smoother, skin-close wear with somewhat shorter longevity. It is an easy, comforting masculine - cosy enough for cold-weather casual days and warm enough to flatter date nights - delivering the heart of Pi at a budget price.
