The review

Depiction scores 7.7 out of 10 on paper — strong contender territory for anyone chasing Portrayal Man.

Perfume Parlour sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Portrayal Man's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.

It is sold as an extrait — a high concentration, which usually means it sits closer to the skin for longer.

At $41 per 100ml it costs 86% less than Portrayal Man — the cheapest of 1 twins we can price.

Some wearers dispute how close it gets — the match is the seller's claim, so read the votes before you buy.

Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Perfume Parlour publishes, the price per 100ml, and how firmly the match is claimed. How it really smells on skin is what the votes below are for.

What it's built to smell like

Amouage Portrayal Man is violet leaf, saffron and incense at first, jasmine and vetiver at its heart and cade oil, leather and Tonka Bean at the end. Perfume Parlour set out to put that same arc in a cheaper bottle.

Top

  • violet leaf
  • saffron
  • incense

Heart

  • jasmine
  • vetiver

Base

  • cade oil
  • leather
  • Tonka Bean
Tarry cade and violet leaf over incense and leather — a dark, theatrical masculine.

Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.
