Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Ridge EDP
Perfume Parlour's affordable interpretation of Dune - a floral fragrance led by Mandarin, Aldehyde, with citrus depth. As a budget interpretation it sits lighter and more linear than the designer, but the core signature is there.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Charles of the Ritz EDP
A lost icon, Charles of the Ritz is a powerful, elegant floral amber that evokes deep nostalgia for those who remember it. It's a divisive scent, but undeniably a classic that many still desperately try to track down.

Season and Occasion Fit

Ridge

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

Charles of the Ritz

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Spring Summer

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Given its enormous sillage and longevity, this is definitely not an office-friendly scent in its original form. It shines best in formal settings or during romantic evenings where its powerful presence can be appreciated without overwhelming a small space.
