French Name 1986

Option Review:30ml Spray
I must edit my review because this perfume is worth it. When I said it lasts around 6-8 hours on my skin... I admit I rushed with the comment without waiting for its whole journey. However, the next morning, after well over 20 hours from spraying it behind the ears, I still felt it. And gorgeous, not a boring generic drydown, still its DNA. Superb. And it is worth mentioning, it was not the extract version, the normal 30 ml one, I think EDP?!? EDT?!? I don't know, on the bottle can't be found that info

Saont III - 1477

Option Review:30ml Spray
Look, it is not a bad perfume, by no means. However, if you want a perfume that projects and has long-lasting power, this is not it. I don't know the original, but I had and have replicas from many clone houses, so it is very similar to all of them, so it might be very close to the original (if that is an argument). I found the best projection and duration in Eden Perfumes replica of Santal 33

Jupiter 1423

Option Review:13ml Spray
This might be a batch issue and I don't want to be overly critical, so take me with a grain of salt on this. I will not agree with previous reviewers that this is a 1 to 1 copy of Ganymede, even though its similar. At first spray this is not nearly as good as Ganymede (which is fine because of the price difference obviously), and is instead actually quite off-putting (less fun). It actually smells spicy, smoky and dense instead of mineral (mineralistic?) and airy right when I spray it. I put Jupiter on my right wrist and the real Ganymede on my other wrist to compare, and the OG is soapier and smells way cleaner and more fresh than this does. I told my partner that "what is going on, this smells almost like grilled hot dogs on my shirt?" and she was like "wow, I understand what you mean", and while it was an obvious exaggeration, the fact that she responded like that says a lot. Might not be hot dogs, but it's like Ganymede with the mineral notes being hidden behind liquid smoke or something like that. The drydown is however somewhat similar to Ganymede, but I don't get the beautiful wafts coming from my skin and shirt that I get from the real Ganymede, it seems to stick closer to the skin, and while I think the real Ganymede is so strange in how it manages to smell so FRESH while still being spicy, mineral, ozonic, etc. This doesn't smell particularly fresh to me, on the contrary I'm thinking about switching shirts before going out now because I sprayed this on myself and I smell like I spent time in front of a spicy bonfire. The smokiness disappears gradually, but to me... it takes way too long. It actually reminds me slightly more of what would happen if you mixed 3 parts Ganymede with 2 parts B683. It's too spicy, too smoky, too heavy. However, if I'm gonna stop being so critical now, it's still an interesting and decent fragrance. If you can't sample Ganymede and want to get an approximation of what it's like then I guess this would be decent to try it out, and for the price it's just a very interesting fragrance no matter what. But if you love Ganymede for the same reasons that I do, you might not be so into it. Some perfumes get better with time and use though as they macerate, so it's not impossible that this will change as well. If it does, I will update it with a new score. So I'm gonna say it like this, it's a 3,5/5 scent overall because it's unique and cool, and you should definitely try to see if you enjoy it more than me, but as a copy of Ganymede it's a 2/5 tops, because it does remind me more of B683 than it does of Ganymede which might not what you want. I for one don't enjoy B683 half as much as I do Ganymede.

Gold Musk 1554

Option Review:13ml Spray
Beautiful vanilla, but lasted only minutes before it disappeared. Reminded me of Mercedes Benz Club Black, but that has better sillage and longevity

Ultimate Challenge For Men 1011

Option Review:13ml Spray
I really enjoy this. Never smelled the original so I don't know how close it is, but it's a really interesting take on the Prada DNA. Soapy and a little powdery, clean- yet there's a dark mysterious facet to it that to my nose smells a little like Aniseed. Great fragrance for cooler days

French Name 1986

Option Review:30ml Spray
What can I say, this is intense tuberose with a sweet creamy addictive dry-down. It lasts around 6-8 hours on my skin. I love it so much that I dropped the bottle on the way to gym (the backpack was not completely closed)... so yeah, that sidewalk smells pretty premium right now. I must order another bottle, great job PP

Card Wander 1940

Option Review:3ml Roll On
Wow! I have never smelt the real Ombré nomade, but this smells really interesting and in my opinion VERY good. Lasts really long and projects like a beast if you apply enough. Thank you a lot! Really cheap too. I think I’ll buy a 36ml oil bottle.

Soft Pony For Women 0441

Option Review:13ml Spray
Very similar to the original, I love it

Wonderful Lady For Women (Killian) 1111

Option Review:13ml Spray
I don't know the original, however, this is a very pleasant fragrance, soft, delicate, and feminine. Not too heavy on tuberose, a safe blind buy.

Only Man For Men 0666

Option Review:13ml Spray
I have The One and I bought Only Man for Men just as I was considering buying a new bottle of The One. I have a quandary now. They are extremely similar, and I mean so close that in fragrance and performance if I smell one I become anosmic to the other briefly. I don't wish my ratings of this fragrance to be misunderstood. I think The One or Only Man for Men is a must have fragrance but if you want serious longevity or projection then other fragrances suit better. If you want a scent that your girlfriend will love but not be choked by then it will be hard to beat either the original The One or Perfume Parlour's version. As of now, I will not seek to buy a new bottle of The One because I have 13mls of this. When I finish the bottle of Only Man for Men then I will make that tough decision. If the 60ml Spray Extract has better performance than the 13ml spray then I could be buying it over The One. This fragrance is that good.
