Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Rouge Trafalgar EDP
Rouge Trafalgar is a high-end fruit bomb that's sadly divisive. Many find it too generic for its price, whilst others adore its elevated, tart berry profile. It’s a love-it-or-hate-it affair, particularly when factoring in the performance.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Red Cape EDP
Perfume Parlour's affordable interpretation of Rouge Trafalgar - a fruity fragrance led by Cherry, Mandarin Orange, Strawberry, with citrus depth. Expect a softer, closer-to-skin take on the original - the signature intact, the projection gentler.

Season and Occasion Fit

Rouge Trafalgar

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

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

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual
Also Works:
Date Sport

Its fresh, fruity, and subtle nature makes it excellent for casual wear or the office, as many reviews suggest it's inoffensive. Its limited projection and longevity, however, make it less suitable for formal events where a more impactful scent is often desired, though some find it sexy enough for dates.

Red Cape

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