Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - The Factor EDP
Perfume Parlour's affordable interpretation of Agent Provocateur - a floral fragrance led by Coriander, with amber depth. Expect a softer, closer-to-skin take on the original - the signature intact, the projection gentler.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Fire Island EDP
This one's proper divisive: a love-it-or-hate-it scent. For some, it's the ultimate beach-holiday in a bottle, perfectly capturing sun-warmed skin and expensive lotion. Others just get a synthetic, harsh whiff of hairspray or even cleaning products.

Season and Occasion Fit

The Factor

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

Best in spring and summer - the floral, amber profile suits those conditions, while extremes of heat or cold flatten the dupe's lighter composition.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office Sport

Keep it for casual and daily - the floral accord gives presence while the gentle projection keeps it crowd-friendly.

Fire Island

Seasons

Best For:
Summer

A summer scent - airy and clear, designed for hot weather.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Sport

Its strong projection and summery beach vibe make it perfect for casual settings and dates, but potentially too distracting for the office. The clear 'sunscreen' association means it's not a go-to for formal events.
