Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Sugar Extrait
This one's a proper chancer, aiming for sweet marshmallow heaven but often landing in cleaning product hell. It's wildly divisive, with many finding it an acquired taste - or just plain soap. Not for the faint of heart, or nose.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Sweetness EDP
Perfume Parlour's affordable interpretation of Franck Boclet - Sugar - a fruity fragrance led by Coconut, Honey, Black Currant, with sweet depth. Expect a softer, closer-to-skin take on the original - the signature intact, the projection gentler.

Season and Occasion Fit

Sugar

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual

Its potent projection and distinct, often polarising scent make it unsuitable for most office environments. It shines in casual or date settings where its unique qualities can be appreciated, but the strong sweetness and musky undertones aren't ideal for formal events or exercise.

Sweetness

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

Best in spring and summer - the fruity, sweet profile suits those conditions, while extremes of heat or cold flatten the dupe's lighter composition.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office Sport

Keep it for casual and daily - the fruity accord gives presence while the gentle projection keeps it crowd-friendly.
