Which Should You Buy?
A truly divisive classic, Tendre Poison demands attention. Forget subtle; this is a bold, unapologetic green floral that either captivates or repels. Definitely not for the faint of heart, it's a statement piece from a bygone era that still has something to say.
Perfume Parlour's affordable interpretation of Tender Poison - a citrus fragrance led by Bergamot, Mandarin Orange, Asafoetida, with floral depth. Expect a softer, closer-to-skin take on the original - the signature intact, the projection gentler.

Occasions
Its potent projection and unique profile make it unsuitable for the office or casual wear. However, its sophisticated and bold nature is perfect for formal events or a statement date night.
Seasons
Reach for it across spring and summer, where the citrus signature sits most naturally; outside those months its softer projection thins out faster.
Occasions
This one suits casual and daily settings; the easy, breezy character keeps it versatile for date rotation too.
