Which Should You Buy?

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.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Sun Down EDP
Perfume Parlour's affordable interpretation of NighTom Fordall Patchouli - a woody fragrance led by Indonesian Patchouli Leaf, with warm spicy depth. As a budget interpretation it sits lighter and more linear than the designer, but the core signature is there.
