Perfume Parlour Spanish Designer For Men is an Eau de Parfum launched in 1973. Spanish Designer For Men opens with Rosewood, Rosemary, and Clary Sage, settles into a heart of Lavender, Geranium, and Tonka Bean, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, Oakmoss, and Honey. Perfume Parlour's Spanish Designer For Men carries a Favourite verdict, a aromatic-led wear.

Spanish Designer copies Paco Rabanne pour Homme - that landmark dry, soapy, green aromatic fougere of herbs over oakmoss, honey and tobacco-warm base. The dupe captures the barbershop character but reads flatter and less refined than the 1973 classic.

About

Spanish Designer is Perfume Parlour's take on Paco Rabanne pour Homme, the 1973 fougere that launched a thousand imitators. It opens green and herbal with rosemary, clary sage and a touch of rosewood, then a classic aromatic heart of lavender and geranium with a soft tonka warmth gives it that timeless barbershop polish. The base is where the original's character lives - oakmoss, a slightly animalic honey, amber and musk for a dry, soapy-yet-dirty masculine finish. As a budget interpretation it traces the clean-meets-mossy fougere shape faithfully, but renders it flatter and less nuanced than the refined vintage, with shorter longevity. A confident, slightly retro masculine for the office, cooler-weather evenings and anyone who loves a proper old-school fougere.
