Skyline

Perfume Parlour Skyline is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2016. Skyline opens with Ginger, Mandarin, Rosemary, and Grapefruit, settles into a heart of Sesame, Pepper, Nutmeg, and Cedar, and dries down to a base of Cacao Butter and Vetiver. Perfume Parlour's Skyline carries a Favourite verdict, a woody-led wear.

Skyline For Men recreates Davidoff Horizon, the woody-spicy masculine often likened to a livelier Terre d'Hermes. It captures the fresh ginger-grapefruit opening and that peppery cedar-and-cocoa-vetiver heart, but the dupe flattens the original's contrast and wears closer, trading Horizon's already-moderate longevity for a similarly skin-near budget version.

About

Skyline For Men opens fresh and zesty with ginger, grapefruit, mandarin and aromatic rosemary, a lively spicy-citrus overture. The heart turns woody and piquant with black pepper, nutmeg, sesame, cedar and patchouli, before a base of cocoa-tinged warmth and earthy vetiver adds depth and a touch of sweetness. Against Davidoff's Horizon, this dupe gets the spicy-woody concept right and keeps the appealing ginger-cedar-cocoa interplay, but the original's nuance and contrast feel a little smoothed over here, leaving a more linear, skin-close wear; since Horizon itself is a moderate performer, the gap in longevity is modest. It is a versatile, confident men's scent - fresh enough for daytime, woody enough to carry into evenings - delivering the spirit of the original at a budget price.
