Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Because It's You EDP
A sparkling raspberry-vanilla delight that radiates confidence and flirtatious charm. Loud, sweet, and undeniably crowd-pleasing, it's a go-to for those who love their fragrance to announce their arrival.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Reason EDP
Perfume Parlour's affordable interpretation of Because It's You - a floral fragrance led by Lemon, Neroli, Raspberry, with citrus depth. The dupe trades some of the original's depth and longevity for a wallet-friendly price, keeping the recognisable character.

Season and Occasion Fit

Because It's You

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn
Also Works:
Winter

The sweet, jammy raspberry and creamy vanilla make this shine in cooler spring and autumn weather, while the floral freshness and light citrus keep it wearable in winter and not overly heavy for some summer nights. Overapplication can be cloying in heat.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office Formal

Its pronounced projection, sweetness, and inviting character make it ideal for dates and social occasions. It’s versatile for casual wear but can become too bold for office or active settings if overapplied.

Reason

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

Best in spring and summer - the floral, citrus 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 floral accord gives presence while the gentle projection keeps it crowd-friendly.
