Which Should You Buy?
This is a thick, syrupy fruit-chouli that divides opinion. Some find it a 'gummy bear' sweet delight, others a 'jumbled mess' or 'too much'. Performance is beast mode, but whether that's a blessing or a curse depends on your skin chemistry and tolerance for potent patchouli.
Evening Melody is Perfume Parlour's reading of BDK Parfums Pas Ce Soir, leaning a touch fruitier with an added pear note up top. The sugared quince-jasmine heart and spicy patchouli base track the original well, and its longevity outlasts the notoriously fleeting niche reference.

Seasons
A fruity jasmine floral best in spring and cooler autumn and winter evenings; the rich heart feels heavy in summer heat.
