Favourite
Our Verdict - Florence Notoriously Dark EDP
Perfume Parlour's affordable interpretation of Gucci Guilty Black - a floral fragrance led by Lavender, with aromatic depth. Expect a softer, closer-to-skin take on the original - the signature intact, the projection gentler.

Season and Occasion Fit

Platinum Égoïste

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer
Also Works:
Autumn

Its fresh aromatic and green profile is ideal for spring and summer, while the woody mossy base makes it versatile enough for fall, but it can feel too crisp for cold winter days.

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual
Also Works:
Date Formal

Balanced projection and a refined, clean character make it perfect for office and casual wear, while its classic sophistication suits date settings without overwhelming formality.

Florence Notoriously Dark

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

The floral character is happiest in spring and summer - the freshness reads bright and clean in milder weather; the dupe's lighter build means it can struggle to project in the opposite season.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office Sport

Its floral, aromatic signature leans toward casual and daily wear - approachable enough for date use without overwhelming a room.
