Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Illuminating Light EDP
Perfume Parlour's affordable interpretation of Louis Vuitton Sun Song - a floral fragrance led by Citron, with musky depth. It captures the gist of the original at a fraction of the cost, rendering a touch simpler and quieter.

Our Verdict - Little Italy EDP
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.

Season and Occasion Fit

Illuminating Light

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

Reach for it across spring and summer, where the floral signature sits most naturally; outside those months its softer projection thins out faster.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office Sport

This one suits casual and daily settings; the easy, breezy character keeps it versatile for date rotation too.

Little Italy

Seasons

Best For:
Summer
Also Works:
Spring

A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.

Occasions

Best For:
Casual Sport
Also Works:
Date

Its potent citrus blast makes it a bit too loud for the office and not formal enough. It shines in casual settings and for sport due to its refreshing nature, though some find it too fleeting for long-term wear.
