Which Should You Buy?
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.
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
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
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.
Seasons
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
Its citrus, floral signature leans toward casual and daily wear - approachable enough for date use without overwhelming a room.
