The review
On paper, Perfect Extra For Men is an outside bet if you want Pure XS for less.
Perfume Parlour sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Pure XS'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.
It is $89 per 100ml.
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 ginger, thyme and bergamot, turns to cinnamon, vanilla and myrrh, and settles into vanilla, amber and woody notes. That is the brief Perfect Extra For Men is working from.
Top
- ginger
- thyme
- bergamot
Heart
- cinnamon
- vanilla
- myrrh
Base
- vanilla
- amber
- woody notes
Ginger and cinnamon over syrupy vanilla myrrh, sweet and deliberately provocative.
