Which Should You Buy?
Crave is a divisive blast from the past, a fresh and sporty scent that perfectly captures Y2K youthful energy. For many, its unique, invigorating sparkle outweighs its often-criticised synthetic edge and short lifespan, making it a nostalgic favourite, albeit hard to track down.
Perfume Parlour's affordable interpretation of Fragrance Du Bois Zest Marin - a citrus fragrance led by Galbanum, Bergamot, Lemon, with green 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
Seasons
A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.
Occasions
Its fresh and clean nature makes it suitable for casual wear and sports, as many users attested it for gym or summer. However, its often-cited poor longevity and projection combined with a youthful, sporty vibe make it less ideal for formal settings or dates where more gravitas and presence are typically desired.
Seasons
The citrus 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
Its citrus, green signature leans toward casual and daily wear - approachable enough for date use without overwhelming a room.
