This one's a proper head-scratcher. Mango Aoud delivers a juicy, ripe mango that divides the crowd - some find it a tropical dream, others a synthetic nightmare. The woody oud base tries to ground it, but often gets lost or, worse, comes across as a bit 'off'. Definitely not a safe blind buy.

Pure Croc For Women is Perfume Parlour's take on Eau de Lacoste L.12.12 Pour Elle Natural, a soft floral-fruity. The dupe nails the juicy pineapple-and-coconut character but, like the original, stays light and discreet, with the budget version reading slightly sweeter and a touch less green.
