Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Nation Shrub EDP
Perfume Parlour's affordable interpretation of Acqua Di Parma - Colonia Mirra - a floral fragrance led by Orange Blossom, Citruses, with citrus depth. It captures the gist of the original at a fraction of the cost, rendering a touch simpler and quieter.

Our Verdict - Nightfall Patchouli EDP
Nightfall Patchouli is a captivating, sweet and spicy crowd-pleaser, but a 'patchouli' perfume it ain't. It's a gorgeous scent but divisive on whether it lives up to its name or its hefty price tag. Go for the dupe if you're on a budget.
