Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Simulation
Perfume Parlour's affordable interpretation of Diorissimo - a floral fragrance led by Bergamot, Green Notes, with citrus depth. Expect a softer, closer-to-skin take on the original - the signature intact, the projection gentler.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Diorissimo
A legendary floral masterpiece, this extrait de parfum version of Diorissimo is a potent, heady bouquet that demands attention. It's a love-it-or-hate-it affair, with some finding it gloriously opulent and others aggressively green or 'banana-like'.

Season and Occasion Fit

Simulation

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

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

Diorissimo

Seasons

Best For:
Spring
Also Works:
Summer

A spring fragrance - light, bright, made for the warmer turn of the year.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Given its strong sillage and 'attention-getting' nature, this extrait is best reserved for formal events or a special date night. Its opulent floral character and vintage elegance make it less suitable for casual or office wear, where it might be too overpowering.
