Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Silky Seed EDP
Perfume Parlour's affordable interpretation of Bdk Parfums Velvet Tonka - a sweet fragrance led by Almond, Orange Blossom, with floral depth. It captures the gist of the original at a fraction of the cost, rendering a touch simpler and quieter.

Our Verdict - Eaudemoiselle de Givenchy Absolu d’Oranger EDP
This one is a divisive delight. A bold, luxurious orange blossom with an incensy, smoky depth that polarises; some find it a suffocating beast, others a unique Arabian-French blend. It's an acquired taste, but those who love it, really love it.

Season and Occasion Fit

Silky Seed

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

The sweet character is happiest in autumn and winter - cooler air gives the warmth room to bloom; the dupe's lighter build means it can struggle to project in the opposite season.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Office Casual

Its sweet, floral signature leans toward evening and daily wear - approachable enough for formal use without overwhelming a room.

Eaudemoiselle de Givenchy Absolu d’Oranger

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Spring

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Its exceptional longevity and strong sillage, along with its rich, oriental character, make it overwhelming for an office setting. However, it excels for dates and formal events, where its luxurious and sensual qualities will be appreciated, especially in cooler weather.
