    This is a really well blended scent. It has the same feeling as The One, but I prefer this one, it manages to be fresher, and classier and on my skin it lasted a good 8 hours. Not tried the Creed version but if its anything like this it is magnificent.

    Very nice tobacco oud scent, I actually prefer this to the Tom Ford one. Received a couple of compliments when I wore it too. I like that the oud is not super prominent as some oud scents can come off too medicinal. This one let's the complex pipe tobacco do most of the work and is very well blended and balanced.

    Very nice modern musk scent. It's a unisex one that would be great for daytime wear. I love the mix of wood/musk/berry in this. At times the berry is reminiscent of Silver Mountain Water, but closer up the wood and musk take over and give a really creamy opulent scent.

    The tonka bean and lavender in this one just work so well together. I love it and I love that PP supply a version of it. The Escada one has been discontinued for a long time and it's great to be be able to easily get the same scent again. It lasts a good number of hours and seems to get smell richer as time goes on. Recommended to everyone.

    Really nice melon/eucalyptus aquatic - a lot nicer than that sounds too! I can pick up some sandalwood and patchouli as well. For a CK scent this one has great longevity and pretty decent projection. Great to see that PP have a version as the original is slowly disappearing from the shelves. The original was created in the ealy nineties but I still think it has a modern scent.

    A spot on match to the original, which I sampled in Selfridges recently. It's not one I would want to wear every day though, as it has a quite a strong honeyed tobacco/sweet whiskey vibe that would be perfect for a night out somewhere chilly but maybe not ideal for a stuffy office. Perfume Parlour's Tom Ford fragrances are particularly good and this is no exception, just like the original, however I don't think the original is especially versatile in terms of wearability.

    Absolutely delightful fragrance. Much more of a Western take on oud - i.e. it's toned right down. Works really well though. To me this is a beautiful cedar/incense/sweet citrus fragrance. I agree this isn't identical to Creed's version however I am coming around to the idea that this is actually nicer and the longevity is better. You can't really go wrong with this one.

    Notes of Green African Musk

    This feels like a good blend of light and dark musks. Kind of a clean and dirty style musk at the same time, although I would class it as predominantly a clean skin musk. As with most musks this will smell stronger to some people than others depending on your nose. Projection is not enormous to me but it lasts ages. It's nice, unisex, comforting and cosy.

    It's like a nicer version of Gaultier's Le Male if you ask me - not so much of the synthetic mint top note, and more of the smooth vanilla. Perfect for nights out partying, and nights in getting cosy! I'd say this is actually nicer than the Carolina Herrera original version. That one can come across as a bit too curried/spicy, whereas the PP version seems much smoother and better balanced. Highly highly recommended.
