Which Should You Buy?
This one's proper divisive - folks either love its unique blend of tea, leather, and rose, or they're recoiling from what they perceive as petrol or old shoes. Definitely not a blind buy unless you fancy a gamble on an airy, sophisticated dark horse.
Black Tea Water is Perfume Parlour's run at Bvlgari's Eau Parfumee au The Noir, that gauzy smoky tea-rose. The dupe lands the black-tea-and-rose core but plays it heavier and a little flatter than the airy original, pushing the leather up while losing some of the gossamer transparency.
