Perfume Parlour Outing II For Men is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2008. Outing II For Men opens with Bergamot, Lemon, and Mandarin, settles into a heart of Black Sesame and Allspice, and dries down to a base of Musk, Cedar, and Vetiver. Perfume Parlour's Outing II For Men carries a Favourite verdict, a fresh-led wear.

A budget version of Davidoff Adventure - the same quietly confident woody-spicy blend of citrus, peppery pimento and cedar over vetiver and musk. Outing II captures Adventure's versatile, cold-weather character but reads flatter and shorter-lived than the designer original, with a louder, simpler spice up top.

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Outing II opens with a bright citrus flicker of bergamot, mandarin and lemon before settling quickly into its woody-spicy core - the signature of Davidoff Adventure (2008). The heart pairs an unusual nutty, slightly toasted black sesame with peppery pimento, lending a quiet warmth and texture. The base is all dry cedarwood, earthy vetiver and clean white musk, giving that understated, lived-in confidence Adventure is known for. Perfume Parlour's interpretation captures the original's versatile, safe-blind-buy character convincingly, but it reads a fraction flatter and the spice a touch louder and rougher in the opening, while the refined drydown is thinner. Where Adventure manages a moderate 6 hours with a polite, arm's-length projection, here longevity is shorter and the trail closer to the skin. The effect stays grounded and easygoing - a woody-spicy scent best for autumn and winter days, with enough lift for cool spring, worn casually, at the office or on relaxed dates.
