Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Loverdose EDP
Loverdose is a divisive, intoxicating scent - a delicious liquorice bomb that leans into its edgy, rebellious side. Some find it a masterpiece, others a challenging, even 'bitchy' punk rock experience. Expect love-it-or-hate-it reactions, but it's certainly not boring.
Statement
Our Verdict - Lots of Love EDP
Perfume Parlour's affordable interpretation of Loverdose - a floral fragrance led by Star Anise, Mandarin Orange, with citrus depth. As a budget interpretation it sits lighter and more linear than the designer, but the core signature is there.

Season and Occasion Fit

Loverdose

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Occasions

Best For:
Date
Also Works:
Casual

With strong, sweet liquorice and anise accords, Loverdose isn't a safe bet for the office but shines on dates, especially in cooler weather, where its seductive nature can really come through. Its moderate sillage and disappointing longevity on some make it more suited for intimate settings rather than all-day wear.

Lots of Love

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

Best in spring and summer - the floral, citrus 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 floral accord gives presence while the gentle projection keeps it crowd-friendly.
