Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - La Colle Noire EDP
This is Dior's quiet luxury take on a fresh rose, a scent that whispers elegance rather than shouts. While some find it a bit too light or even unoriginal, others embrace its gentle charm and subtle complexity.
Favourite
Our Verdict - With The Dark EDP
Perfume Parlour's affordable interpretation of La Colle Noir - a fruity fragrance led by Lemon, with floral depth. Expect a softer, closer-to-skin take on the original - the signature intact, the projection gentler.

Season and Occasion Fit

La Colle Noire

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.

Occasions

Best For:
Office Date Casual
Also Works:
Formal

Its moderate sillage and elegant, fresh floral profile make it highly versatile for most occasions, especially daytime and intimate settings. It is too subtle for a strong formal statement and not invigorating enough for sport.

With The Dark

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

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