Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Indigo Tanzanite EDP
This one's a divisive beast. Some adore its creamy, spicy depth, finding it alluring and unique. Others are put off by a 'play-doh' or 'old lady' vibe, with some finding the patchouli overwhelming. Definitely sample first, it's not a safe blind buy.
Statement
Our Verdict - Violet Mineral EDP
Perfume Parlour's affordable interpretation of Indigo Tanzanite - a sweet fragrance led by Bergamot, Almond, with citrus depth. The dupe trades some of the original's depth and longevity for a wallet-friendly price, keeping the recognisable character.
