My latest

B&R Stainless Steel Adjustable with matching stand.

After testing many of the Tom Ford Private Collection I decided to buy several of those I like from Perfume Parlour. I am so impressed with the formulations. They are all approximately 95% correct with regards to likeness, to my nose. A shilling of TF's price.

Think I will give some of these a try @Nishy and at the price definitely worth a punt

Nicely done David! The crocodile killers are one of my favourite blades too! May I ask what are your thoughts on the P&B Denali..have been tempted to try it but as it's sort of seasonal I normally miss out..is it a face freezer? Is there any discernible scent profile? Thanks!

Hi, Chris. I bought Denali last year, too, and really enjoyed it. It's peppermint with a menthol addition, to my nose. I wouldn't class it as exceptionally cold and certainly nothing like the B&M Arctique I tried last year, also. I used it, yesterday, and works well, even when not exactly hot.

Thanks for the info, David much appreciated!

A very good cream regardless the price

Pah! British handle on an American head. Must be. MUST BE! American handles are NOT that sharp. I'd have to feel it to prove it.

You're on the list now, @Looney12345

He's been on my list for ages... he's such a stirrer!

Definitely worth it my friend. Very similar profiles. Not sure about longevity as yet. I have around 25 perfume oils from Perfume Parlour, the Tom Ford varieties I am very impressed with. Although Oud Wood-'Oud woodies' is not too similar but still smells great.

Please do. I'm after a few new fragrances and these look interesting. Very much looking forward to knowing your thoughts.

James the Venetian Bergamot is very very very close to TF's original. It has a similar if not better projection. Currently wearing the copies of Neroli Portofino and Tobacco Oud. I won't be buying TF's having smelt these oils. Honestly very impressed. Other named alternatives from Perfume Parlour we OK but these are outstanding. 6x6ml for under £30 delivered is a no brainer.

Thanks @Nishy. Venetian Bergamot, Neroli Portofino and Tobacco Oud. Any others you'd recommend to make up the six or should I just order two of each?

I enjoyed tobacco rose, oud wood and tuskan leather, if that helps...

It does thanks Lee. The TF fragrances do interest me and I've been trawling the reviews on the 'Best Sellers' page. HERE

Yep Oud Wood as @Rowlers mentioned I really enjoy. Noir D Noir, Japan Noir and London are quality too. London and Noir are worth getting for sure.
