Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Madison Square Park EDP
This perfume is a divisive one. You'll either adore its unique green and fruity freshness, or you'll be left underwhelmed, finding it too generic or synthetic for its luxury price tag. It's a love-it-or-hate-it kind of scent, but for those who love it, prepare for a joyful spring garden in a bottle.

Our Verdict - Big Venue EDP
Big Venue is Perfume Parlour's version of Bond No.9's Madison Square Park, a radiant green-fruity-floral. The dupe captures that playful hyacinth-blueberry-and-grass burst and soapy floral heart, though the budget oil renders the polished, expensive-shampoo drydown a little flatter than the original.

Season and Occasion Fit

Madison Square Park

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

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

Occasions

Best For:
Casual Sport
Also Works:
Office Date

Its fresh and clean profile makes it highly suitable for casual wear or as an inoffensive office scent, despite some finding it a bit sharp initially. While it can work for a daytime date, it's not quite robust enough for formal events or intense sport.

Big Venue

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

The green, fruity and floral burst is built for spring and summer, fading and feeling thin in cold weather.

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual
Also Works:
Date Sport

Its fresh, playful and clean character suits casual days, the office and daytime dates more than formal evenings.
