Which Should You Buy?
Perfume Parlour's affordable interpretation of Opium - a citrus fragrance led by Coriander, Plum, Citruses, with woody depth. The dupe trades some of the original's depth and longevity for a wallet-friendly price, keeping the recognisable character.
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.
