Wood Zero For Women 1914

Option Review:50ml Spray
I fell in love, first, with Penhaligon's Halfeti and was SO very impressed with PP's Rumkale version. On a later visit to Bath and falling love with Penhaligon's Oud de Nil I excitedly tried to order PP's Wood Zero. As it was out of stock I had to wait quite a while so once it was back in stock I literally stocked up without first trying it. Yes, it's a lovely perfume BUT it does not as closely resemble Penhaligon's Oud de Nil (the way their version of Halfeti did). As such I have probably a couple of years' worth of this (lovely but not truly a clone) of Oud de Nil. Sorry PP to give less than a glowing review because you are absolutely brilliant!!!

Good Lad For Men 1118

Option Review:30ml Spray Extract
Extract takes CH's Bad Boy Le Parfum and doubles down on it. This is possibly the best release of the last year. And PP's version is even better than the original. The cannabis/leather is perfect. I just can't get enough of it. Another winner from PP.

Desert Wood 1654

Option Review:60ml Spray Extract
I just got this as a sample and it's really really nice. It's now on my wish list and I hope that it becomes available before Autumn. It's like that scent from the sound hole of a boutique guitar, but sweeter.

Noon Dip 1362

Option Review:30ml Spray Extract
This is by far the best LV Afternoon Swim clone I've ever smelled. I got a sample of the original some weeks ago and I loved the fragrance itself because it just gives you that summer / beach feeling right in your face. I was really disappointed of its longevity and overall projection though. The original was gone after about 2h. I can tell you that this one right here smells exactly like the original. Base notes, heart notes, top notes, everything is 100% the same. It lasts for like 6-7h and when spraying it on your neck / chest / arms, you and everybody around you will smell it for that amount of time. Got compliments from many people and friends after just some seconds. One tip: Try putting it into your fridge / some cold place. If you spray it on you and lay in the sun / let your body warm up quickly, those citrus notes will explode. 10/10 fragrance, the only complaint I have is the packaging itself. The box has a really unpleasent smell which isn't really a good sign when buying fragrances. ;)

Cyber Sports Extreme For Men 0574

Option Review:30ml Spray
I went into the store and sampled the original and was very impressed at how accurate this is - 95% accurate - only noticicable differences when smelled side by side. AHSeE is a very beautiful fresh/clean scent that you would struggle not to like. Great for warm weather, for the workplace, gym, even a date - in my opinion it is fantastically versatile - perhaps one of the most versatile fragrances.

Can't wait to waer this some more and come back and give it another proper review.. 1st impression is its pretty good..

Tertiary Complete 0797

Option Review:30ml Spray Extract
this is gorgeous. after 3 months of maceration, this became perfect. as great as the original, this is the best performing scent in my collection. I recommend the extract. Fantastic Job Perfume Parlour. People who doubt that: the formula of is not a hidden thing, it has been published by the perfumer Christophe Laudamiel himself. all that is needed is some maceration and you get a perfect version.

Italian Rawhide 0688

Option Review:15ml Spray Extract
Unbelievably strong, maybe I should've gone with the normal spray instead of the extract. Very overpowering for the first hour or so but has a decent dry down. And yes, it really does smell like cocaine.
