Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Very Good Girl EDP
A charismatic, juicy take on rose that’s both flirtatious and assertive. The luminous litchi and vanilla make it instantly likeable and perfect for those who want a modern, memorable signature.
Statement
Our Verdict - Special Gem EDP
Perfume Parlour's affordable interpretation of Emporio Armani Diamonds Her - a fruity fragrance led by Lychee, Raspberry, with woody depth. As a budget interpretation it sits lighter and more linear than the designer, but the core signature is there.

Season and Occasion Fit

Very Good Girl

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn
Also Works:
Summer

Vibrant fruity and rose notes make this especially lively for spring and transitional for fall. The vanilla and vetiver base add enough depth for cooler weather but it lacks the heft for very cold months.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office

With its playful yet elegant fruity rose character, this fits casual and date settings best. Moderate projection and sweetness keep it from overwhelming in professional or formal situations.

Special Gem

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

Best in spring and summer - the fruity, woody profile suits those conditions, while extremes of heat or cold flatten the dupe's lighter composition.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office Sport

Keep it for casual and daily - the fruity accord gives presence while the gentle projection keeps it crowd-friendly.
