Which Should You Buy?
This one's a divisive floral fruit bowl with a hefty price tag. For some, it's a refreshing spring dream, for others, a harsh, synthetic mess with an unfortunate 'toilet cleaner' note. Try before you buy, it's not a crowd-pleaser for all.
A budget take on Ralph Lauren's discontinued Ralph Wild. Mallet On Fire captures the juicy strawberry-and-watermelon burst over a soft floral-musk that defines the original, but Perfume Parlour's version reads more balanced and rounded where Ralph Wild was greener, and the staying power stays modest, much like the fleeting original.
