When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall Winter

The woody character is happiest in autumn and winter - cooler air gives the warmth room to bloom; the dupe's lighter build means it can struggle to project in the opposite season.

Best Occasions

About

French Male is Perfume Parlour's budget take on Givenchy Gentlemen. It opens with Honey, Cinnamon, Bergamot, leads into a heart of Patchouli, Orris, and dries down to Leather, Amber, Patchouli. The overall character is woody with sweet and warm spicy facets. As a dupe it stays closer to the skin with softer projection and shorter wear than the original, but keeps the signature accord recognisable - an easy everyday way to enjoy the style.
