Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Chinatown EDP
Chinatown is a love-it-or-hate-it affair. Expect a polarizing, unique blend of spicy florals and creamy woods that some find enchanting and others, well, say it's more 'old lady' than niche.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Limehouse For Women EDP
Perfume Parlour's swing at Bond No.9 Chinatown. Limehouse captures the heady peach-blossom-and-tuberose heart, but the famous gourmand patchouli drydown lands thinner and shorter-lived than the rich, complex original.

Season and Occasion Fit

Chinatown

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Its potent projection and distinctive, strong white floral and oriental accords make it a bit much for the office. However, these same qualities, especially the sensual woody-spicy dry down, lend themselves perfectly to date nights and formal events. It's a bold choice, but some reviewers find it versatile enough for daily wear.

Limehouse For Women

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Spring

The rich tuberose-and-vanilla warmth suits cooler spring evenings through autumn and winter rather than high summer heat.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

A heady, dressed-up floral that shines for dates, evenings and formal occasions more than casual daytime or office wear.
