Japanese Waiter II - 0904

Very interesting and intruiging fragrance. I love it! Fan's of the kind of striking otherworldly florals found in Tom Ford Noir and Amouage Reflection have much to enjoy with this one. Opens with aldehydes and the hypnotic ink accord is easy to detect. Once dry a beautifully moreish metallic floral wafts along and makes me feel rather confident and special. Definitely a unisex fragrance that develops wonderfully. Recommended for those who would like something different.

Nice clean slightly sweet liquorice fragrance for men. Great if you fancy a change as it's quite an uncommon fragrance. My recommendation would be to go for the spray rather than the oil with this one, the oil stays quite close to the skin but the spray version really seems to open up the notes and projects more.

Classy and versatile, this is a great substitute for the hard to find sublime 1991 release Herrera for men. Lovely tobacco, citrus and spice mix that smells great any time. Feels comfortable, masculine and clean.

Wow! I like this one. I have quite a few oud/oudh/Aoud/Aoudh scents in my collection but this one is quite different. It has a good amount of oudh fragrance however it is totally transformed into something almost 'icey' - a fresh luminous oud. If you are looking to try an oud scent for the first time maybe try Perfume Parlour's "Egyptian Oud", "Noo Yorks Oud (BND9)", and "Oud Woodies" first to get a good impression of the normal feel of the note. This one is a bit of an enigma; an oud that is prominent and yet elusive at the same time. I can see it working well after an evening gym workout, in the office, and on holiday.

Freezing Dark For Men 0772

(Belongs To The Olfactory Notes Family Similar to La Nuit de l`Homme Frozen Cologne - YSL ®)

This is an outstanding fragrance, one of my all time favourites. Don't get hung up on the fact that this is the frozen cologne version rather than the orginal nuit. The two are near identical after about 45 mins anyway. I own the orgiginal nuit de la homme YSL and this is a perfect substitute. The scent is just lovely, not too many notes but the combination creates something far greater than the sum of it's parts. This is a beautiful, fresh, mysterious, and different scent. Totally versatile and suitable for night and day wear, good for summer as well as winter due to the fresh 'frozen' aspect. This lesser known mainstream scent deverves to be up there with the goliaths of male high street perfumery - le male, cool water, 1 million, aqua di gio etc. In my opinion it is nicer than them all. It is not a longevity monster but the Perfume Parlour concentration means that I comfortably get 7 hours out of it. Get yourself some today!

This one has a good deal of spice to it but is so well blended it works nicely without veering into Indian food territory. It smells very close to the original so consequently is also reminiscent of Le Labo Rose 31 and Al Rehab Khaliji. Not as in-your-face as those though which makes this one a more versatile and safer option. Would make a nice addition to the collection if you only have more mainstream men's fragrances. Might just lead you on your way to more experimental niche territory too!

Love this one. It has a professional formal feel to it and is a tad 'classic' rather than old-fashined. I wore it to a wedding and it set the suit off nicely. I'd say younger fans of gourmand/fruity/aquatic scents are probably going to be nonplussed but if you are looking for something masculine and elegant that isn't going to overpower the room this is a great option. Don't over apply though as a little goes a long way with GG.

Nice clean fresh musk. It has a metallic feel to it and is great if you fancy wearing a simple clean scent. Starts out with some citrus at first and settles to quite an addictive clean musk. Quite calming.

Really nice contemporary aquatic lavender/ woody musk scent. I definitely smell black pepper in this too which gives it a nice manly edge and stops it from feeling like a generic sporty one. Not sure if the A&F one was ever available in the UK, which makes this a nice signature scent that you are unlikely to share with anyone else. Lasts well and projects without overpowering.

I have not tried the orginal one but I have to say that this smells ten times more expensive than the price PP are charging here. It is complex, well blended, distinctive and lasts all day without me getting sick of it. It must project too as a colleague at work could smell it a few feet away some 5 hours after I applied 4 sprays this morning. Of all the 'Oud' ones I have tried this one and the PP version of TF's 'Oud Wood' are my favourites and most suitable for men in my opinion. It has a sweetness to it which is balanced nicely with some sourness and the incense really stops the florals from pulling this one from unisex into feminine territory. I love it! This would be a great one for special occasion wear.
