Nice all-rounder...
This is the second scent from Parsons I've tested and it's actually a perfect counterpart to Oxford Street which has a warm fall/winter mood to it, this will be equally satisfying on a summers day. If you had only two scents, these would cover year round and IMO be very pleasing.

A musky lavender barbershop with italian lemon and vetiver, very pleasant indeed.

Main players are lemon, cedar, lavender, vetiver, musk and tonka.
Quite safe but highly recommended.

The missing "Acqua di Parma Colonia" edgier flanker
I’ve yet to “get” this brand – British name, all made in Italy, zero information about the alleged “heritage”, terrible promotion... and surprisingly nice fragrances (so far for me, at least). Piccadilly Circus is in fact quite good, quite more than I assumed. Basically it is fairly similar to Acqua di Parma Colonia Assoluta or similar floral-citrus variations on classic “gentleman’s eau de cologne” structure, just a bit greener, edgier, drier and warmer at the same time, with some more salty-musky ambergris on the base. That is the family: a refined, cozy, surprisingly “natural” and rich citrus-floral cologne with some more weight and thickness than usual, and a remarkable quality, also with a very pleasant evolution towards a woody-green drydown tinted with citrus-powdery notes. Quite close to Colonia Assoluta as I said, but not redundant if you own both (as I do): Piccadilly has more citrus, it smells sharper and also a bit bolder, slightly echoing dry green fougères like Grès pour Homme. It’s quite good anyway, it smells very solid, elegant and extremely versatile without smelling dull. A bit synthetic perhaps, especially for the price, but it works fine. The theme would seem a bit trite, but it smells actually very compelling – perhaps for the touch of musky ambergris, or for the way citrus-green notes interact. It smells, say, raw and clean at once, breezy and natural (except for some synthetic musky-soapy feel) but nothing too hippie or “artisanal”. It’s rather distinguished and mature on the contrary. Nothing breathtaking, but very nice with a touch of distinction. Plus it lasts long and projects very well. Not sure if it’s worthy the retail price but it’s very nice.

7-7,5/10

He can move in with me.
Again, a men's fragrance that I would immediately and unconditionally add to my collection.

Spicy, fresh, yet not arbitrary, but with a distinct character. Rosemary and cedar are already an introduction that I love, and the lemon is used very subtly. This paves the way for a rather herbaceous heart, in which the lavender blooms in all its glory and not like on grandma's lace handkerchief. Vetiver takes care of that.

The base, in turn, allows warmth and a pleasant skin feeling to be felt and makes the somewhat clean and fine-soapy character appealing, adding elegance.

Picadilly is certainly not as colorful, loud, lively, and cheerful as its namesake, but it is typically English, and the certain understatement of the fragrance, as well as its understated elegance, makes it, in my opinion, quite wearable for women as well. I can easily imagine it as a fragrance that I can always reach for without much thought, and I won't go wrong in terms of season or occasion.

Classic Brit
So, I tested something that I somewhat expected. With English men’s fragrances, I usually expect something spicy and fresh with lemon in the top notes, and that is exactly what Piccadilly is.

A fresh, citrus-heavy top note makes its way over a classically spicy heart note, leading to a subtly sweet base.

Nothing that disturbs, clashes, or stands out. I wouldn’t buy this fragrance for myself, but if I were to receive it as a gift, I would definitely wear it in the summer.

Full cedar-lemon blast; very similar to Monsieur by Balmain, but a bit woodier. Slightly sweet finish - otherwise just background notes.

Classic cologne, very fine, zesty opening. Compact density from neroli in the heart. Vetiver gives the base a subtle touch.
