Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Fixation EDP
Perfume Parlour's affordable interpretation of Fetish Pour Homme - a citrus fragrance led by Lime, Lemon, Bergamot, with floral depth. It captures the gist of the original at a fraction of the cost, rendering a touch simpler and quieter.

Our Verdict - Eau de Cartier EDP
This one's a divisive bugger, isn't it? For some, it's a 'simple, gorgeous' office-friendly vanilla and violet leaf dream; for others, it's a barely-there skin scent that leaves them feeling ripped off. You'll either love its elegant subtlety or wonder if you've gone nose-blind.

Season and Occasion Fit

Fixation

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

Reach for it across spring and summer, where the citrus signature sits most naturally; outside those months its softer projection thins out faster.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office Sport

This one suits casual and daily settings; the easy, breezy character keeps it versatile for date rotation too.

Eau de Cartier

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Summer

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions

Best For:
Office
Also Works:
Date Casual

Its moderate projection and understated elegance make it a solid choice for the office, often cited as an 'excellent scent for the office'. The vanilla and amber add warmth suitable for dates and cooler casual outings, but its lack of strong sillage makes it less ideal for formal events where more presence might be desired.
