Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Love Poison EDP
This is a love-it-or-hate-it gourmand with an obscene price tag to match. If you're after a sophisticated, sweet, fruity treat and pocket depths to rival the Mariana Trench, then step right up. Otherwise, there are similar, more accessible options out there.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Deadly Affection EDP
Perfume Parlour's affordable interpretation of Boadicea The Victorious Love Poison. It leans on Red Berries, Caraway, Cinnamon to evoke the original's signature character at a budget-friendly price - a practical pick for fans who want the vibe without the designer outlay.

Season and Occasion Fit

Love Poison

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn Winter

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Formal

Given its strong projection and distinct gourmand sweetness, Love Poison is best suited for social events rather than the office. Its seductive, rich character is ideal for dates or making an impression at formal gatherings, while being a bit much for casual daytime wear.

Deadly Affection

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, warm spicy signature leans toward casual and daily wear - approachable enough for date use without overwhelming a room.
