Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Amber Aquilaria EDP
Amber Aquilaria is an acquired taste; some will adore its rough-around-the-edges charm, others will find it too challenging. It's a bold, boozy, woody experience that certainly isn't for everyone.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Very Clear EDP
Perfume Parlour's affordable interpretation of So White - a citrus fragrance led by Orange, Citrus, with floral depth. It captures the gist of the original at a fraction of the cost, rendering a touch simpler and quieter.

Season and Occasion Fit

Amber Aquilaria

Seasons

Best For:
Winter
Also Works:
Spring Autumn

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and spring.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Given its strong projection and complex, boozy-woody profile, this isn't an office-friendly fragrance. It’s perfect for intimate date nights or grand formal occasions where you want to make a statement, evoking a luxurious, sophisticated atmosphere.

Very Clear

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

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