Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Royal Mayfair EDP
Royal Mayfair is a proper marmite fragrance - you'll either adore its unique, rosy-eucalyptus charm, or find it utterly repulsive. It's a polarizing scent for a reason, but those who love it, really love it. Just don't blind buy, mate.
Favourite
Our Verdict - English Castle For Men EDP
Perfume Parlour's affordable interpretation of Windsor - a citrus fragrance led by Pine, Lime, with floral depth. The dupe trades some of the original's depth and longevity for a wallet-friendly price, keeping the recognisable character.

Season and Occasion Fit

Royal Mayfair

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer Autumn

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its sophisticated aromatic and woody profile, mixed with a prominent rose, lends itself well to formal and date settings. While some find its opening too bold for the office, its moderate projection and lasting power make it suitable for more relaxed work environments.

English Castle For Men

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

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