Limehouse For Women

Which Should You Buy?
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.
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
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
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.
Seasons
The rich tuberose-and-vanilla warmth suits cooler spring evenings through autumn and winter rather than high summer heat.
Occasions
A heady, dressed-up floral that shines for dates, evenings and formal occasions more than casual daytime or office wear.
Similarity Breakdown
Both share Floral, White Floral, Woody accords and Peach Blossom, Bergamot notes
