This one is probably my fave in the line…
… before that I would have said that Wanted By Night was the the champion… the 2021 EDP version of The Most Wanted was a pinch too “sticky” feeling for me. It was a great scent, don’t get me wrong, but being in the southern USA, that thickness was very unforgiving. The best analogy I can think of is a melting hard candy… that’s the vibe it gives once the temperature hits a certain point.
This one though, still brings the sweetness, but it doesn’t feel as unrelenting. There’s a smokiness that alleviates the sweetness, and makes it more bearable. It’s got more of a smoky/boozy feeling sweetness to it. The Parfum lives up to the “magnum gun cylinder” more so in this sense as well, as a “bad boy” is more likely to have a “smoky” vibe than a “sticky” one used when people describe his “swagger”.
The performance is also great, projecting nicely, and leaving a direct sillage trail that points to where the cowboy has been, and who it is that is leaving that magnificent trail behind. Longevity is a good 8 hours, with the last 3-4 hours being present, but closer to the skin.
The EDP and the Parfum are very similar in scent, but the differences ARE indeed noticeable enough. Would everyone want both? Probably not. Would I buy one if I had the other? Not if I weren’t the cologne collecting madman that I am today.
It’s all about what it IS that you’re looking for; The EDP (2021) release is a great nighttime scent, with a very thick, very sticky, very sweet feeling to it. The Parfum (2022) is still sweet, but slightly more versatile (although I wouldn’t call it a daytime scent), and has a smokiness to it that sort of “lightens” the sweetness, which now has a “boozy” feel to it. Grab a couple of testers, and choose your poison.
