Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Bibliothèque EDP
This one's a proper love-it-or-hate-it affair. Don't go in expecting dusty old books, because what you get is a bold, sweet, and divisive plum-and-leather punch to the face. You'll either adore its unique swagger or run for the hills.
Statement
Our Verdict - Emulation For Women EDP
Perfume Parlour's affordable interpretation of Parisienne - a fruity fragrance led by Cranberry, Blackberry, with woody depth. Expect a softer, closer-to-skin take on the original - the signature intact, the projection gentler.

Season and Occasion Fit

Bibliothèque

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Spring

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Occasions

Best For:
Date
Also Works:
Casual Formal

With strong projection and long-lasting performance, this scent can be a bit much for the office. Its unique, sensual fruity-leather profile shines best on dates and evenings out, though it can dress up a casual vibe if applied sparingly.

Emulation For Women

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

Best in spring and summer - the fruity, woody profile suits those conditions, while extremes of heat or cold flatten the dupe's lighter composition.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office Sport

Keep it for casual and daily - the fruity accord gives presence while the gentle projection keeps it crowd-friendly.
