Which Should You Buy?
This is a divisive take on a classic, a love-it-or-hate-it kind of flanker. While some adore its modern citrus twist for warmer weather, others dismiss it as a watered-down, less characterful version of the original. Expect strong opinions, but it's undoubtedly a fresh, energetic scent.
Perfume Parlour's Thunderstorm chases Louis Vuitton Orage - the fresh citrus opening over powdery iris and earthy vetiver is recognisable, but this dupe loses the refined petrichor effect and the clean, radiant transparency that make the original quietly elegant.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.
Occasions
Its lighter, fresher profile makes it highly suitable for office and casual wear, as many users attest to. While some enjoy it on dates, its lack of strong sillage or heavy notes makes it less ideal for formal events. The fresh, bright accords lend themselves well to sport and warm weather use.
Seasons
The fresh citrus, powdery iris and earthy vetiver feel brightest in spring and summer, carrying into autumn before the cold mutes it.
Occasions
Clean, fresh and refined - well suited to the office, daily wear and casual outings, with enough character for a date; too understated for formal settings.
