Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Royal Mayfair
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 - London Crown
Perfume Parlour's affordable interpretation of Royal Mayfair - a citrus fragrance led by 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.

London Crown

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

Best in spring and summer - the citrus, floral profile suits those conditions, while extremes of heat or cold flatten the dupe's lighter composition.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office Sport

Keep it for casual and daily - the citrus accord gives presence while the gentle projection keeps it crowd-friendly.
