The review
On paper, Occupation For Men 1953 is a strong bet if you want Invasion Barbare for less.
Perfume Parlour sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Invasion Barbare'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 $89 per 100ml it costs 61% less than Invasion Barbare — the cheapest of 4 twins we can price.
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
The original opens on bergamot, lavender and cardamom, turns to iris, geranium and rose, and settles into vetiver, sandalwood and musk. That is the brief Occupation For Men 1953 is working from.
Top
- bergamot
- lavender
- cardamom
Heart
- iris
- geranium
- rose
Base
- vetiver
- sandalwood
- musk
Lavender and iris shaved down to vetiver and musk — the scent equivalent of a bespoke suit.
How it ranks against the other twins
