Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Crave EDP
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.

Our Verdict - Citrus Sea EDP
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

Crave

Seasons

Best For:
Summer

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

Occasions

Best For:
Casual Sport
Also Works:
Office

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.

Citrus Sea

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

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

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office Sport

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