Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Flowerhead EDP
Flowerhead is a divisive, full-throttle white floral that polarises with its sheer intensity. Expect a beautiful, yet overwhelming, bouquet or a synthetic headache-inducer. It's a statement, certainly not for the faint-hearted.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Floral Skull EDP
Perfume Parlour's affordable interpretation of Byredo - Flowerhead - a floral fragrance led by Lemon, Cranberry, Angelica, with citrus depth. The dupe trades some of the original's depth and longevity for a wallet-friendly price, keeping the recognisable character.

Season and Occasion Fit

Flowerhead

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Its beast-mode projection and longevity make it utterly unsuitable for the office, risking offence. However, this powerful sillage is perfect for making an impression on a date or at a formal event. It's too grand for casual wear and far too intense for sport.

Floral Skull

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

The floral character is happiest in spring and summer - the freshness reads bright and clean in milder weather; the dupe's lighter build means it can struggle to project in the opposite season.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office Sport

Its floral, citrus signature leans toward casual and daily wear - approachable enough for date use without overwhelming a room.
