Poor Strong For Men

Perfume Parlour Poor Strong For Men is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2017. Poor Strong For Men opens with Cinnamon, Bergamot, and Nutmeg, settles into a heart of Caviar, and dries down to a base of White Tobacco and Woody. Perfume Parlour's Poor Strong For Men carries a Statement verdict, a woody-led wear.

A budget take on Diesel Bad Intense. The spicy cinnamon-nutmeg opening over a salty-musky caviar accord and sweet white tobacco captures the original's warm woody-amber pull; this dupe trims the marine-animalic edge and gives up much of Bad Intense's near-eternal longevity.

About

Poor Strong chases Diesel Bad Intense, a warm spicy-woody amber known for grabbing attention. It opens with a spiced lift - cinnamon and nutmeg over bright bergamot - the warm, slightly red-herb spice the Intense version added. The heart is its signature trick: a caviar accord, salty and faintly marine-animalic with an ambergris-like muskiness that runs through the scent. The drydown is balmy and rich - sweet white tobacco wrapped in soft woody notes, comforting and a little rugged. Where the original is a near-legendary performer (twelve hours-plus on skin, days on clothing, strong sillage), this dupe keeps the spicy-caviar-tobacco story but reads flatter and more synthetic in the caviar and projects far more modestly, fading well ahead of the Diesel. It is still a warm, confident woody-amber with a salty twist - cosy and a touch sensual - that suits cooler-weather evenings and daily wear, an affordable budget stand-in for the Diesel.
