Which Should You Buy?
Perfume Parlour's take on Bond No.9 Little Italy. The juicy clementine-and-grapefruit citrus burst that defines the original is captured well, with Bella Vista pushing a sweeter, fuller fruit and a longer-lasting musk than the often-fleeting designer citrus.
This one's a proper marmite fragrance - some reckon it's a photorealistic citrus gelato dream, others are convinced it's a £200 bottle of orange cleaning product or, worse, cilantro. Definitely try before you buy, or you might end up smelling like a hot kitchen or rotten fruit.
