Perfume Parlour YZ For Men is an Eau de Parfum launched in 1993. YZ For Men opens with Spicy, Fruity, and Pink Pepper, settles into a heart of Rose and Violet, and dries down to a base of Patchouli, Vanilla, and Massoia. Perfume Parlour's YZ For Men carries a Statement verdict, a woody-led wear.

YZ interprets Paco Rabanne's XS pour Homme - that spicy-woody-floral masculine balancing fresh fruit and pink pepper against a sweetened woody base. The dupe captures the spicy-sweet character but reads flatter and less complex than the 1993 designer.

About

YZ is Perfume Parlour's take on Paco Rabanne's XS pour Homme, the 1993 'Excess' fougere. It opens spicy and lively with pink pepper, a fruity facet and a peppery warmth, then a heart of rose and a dark black-violet adds a floral-powdery depth before the base turns woody and sweet with massoia, patchouli and a rich black vanilla. As a budget interpretation it traces the original's smooth shift from fresh-spicy to sweetened woods, but renders it flatter and less layered than the complex designer, losing some of the citrus-cardamom sparkle and the oakmoss-cedar refinement, and the longevity sits below par. A confident, spicy-sweet masculine for cooler-weather evenings, dates and casual wear.
