Which Should You Buy?
This 80s powerhouse is a love-it-or-hate-it affair, but for those who get it, Giorgio is pure, unadulterated sunshine and glamour. It's bold, unapologetic, and has everyone talking - just make sure you can handle the attention.
Perfume Parlour's Deception chases Kayali Deja Vu White Flower 57 - the fruity nectarine top over a tuberose-jasmine white floral and warm vanilla base is recognisable, but this dupe loses the ethereal, sheer transparency that kept the original from turning heavy.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Its famously strong projection and rich white floral accords make it far too overpowering for an office setting where it would undoubtedly cause a commotion. It shines on dates and formal events, particularly in smaller doses, where its luxurious feel can make an impact. For casual wear, it's best reserved for those who truly want to make a statement.
Seasons
The fruity white florals feel most at home in spring and summer, with enough vanilla warmth to carry into autumn.
Occasions
Sensual, romantic and feminine-leaning - ideal for dates and evenings, with soft enough character for casual daily wear; too lush for sport.
