Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - French Lover EDP
A masterful study in green, earthy masculinity, French Lover is crisp, mossy, and quietly magnetic. It brings refined ruggedness for those who appreciate understated power and natural elegance.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Bonjour Sweetheart EDP
Perfume Parlour's affordable citrus interpretation, led by Bergamot with woody depth. The dupe keeps the recognisable character at a wallet-friendly price, trading some depth and longevity.

Season and Occasion Fit

French Lover

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn
Also Works:
Summer

French Lover's dominant green and woody notes make it ideal for spring and fall when earthy, herbal freshness shines. The scent is too crisp and fresh for winter's coziness, and may be slightly dense for peak summer heat.

Occasions

Best For:
Office Date Casual
Also Works:
Formal

The refined yet natural profile is versatile for office, casual, and date settings, projecting sophistication without being overwhelming. Its earthy, mossy depth is less suited to formal black-tie or high-energy sport occasions.

Bonjour Sweetheart

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

Best in spring and summer - the citrus, woody profile suits those conditions, while extremes of heat or cold flatten the lighter composition.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office Sport

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