Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Scented City EDP
Perfume Parlour's affordable interpretation of Bond No.9 New York Patchouli - a floral fragrance led by Litchi, Rose Water, Bergamot, with woody depth. The dupe trades some of the original's depth and longevity for a wallet-friendly price, keeping the recognisable character.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Desire for a Woman EDT
A harmonious blend of fruits, florals, and woods, making it a delightful choice for everyday wear or special outings.

Season and Occasion Fit

Scented City

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

The floral character is happiest in spring and summer - the freshness reads bright and clean in milder weather; the dupe's lighter build means it can struggle to project in the opposite season.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office Sport

Its floral, woody signature leans toward casual and daily wear - approachable enough for date use without overwhelming a room.

Desire for a Woman

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn
Also Works:
Spring Winter

The floral and fruity composition with hints of woody and spicy notes makes it suitable for cooler spring and fall, but it's adaptable to summer as well.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office Formal

Versatile for day and evening wear, making it well-suited for casual outings or dates. Its moderate projection and intensity are appropriate for office use, avoiding overly strong presence.
