Which Should You Buy?
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.
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
Seasons
A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.
Occasions
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.
Seasons
The green, fruity and floral burst is built for spring and summer, fading and feeling thin in cold weather.
Occasions
Its fresh, playful and clean character suits casual days, the office and daytime dates more than formal evenings.
