Which Should You Buy?
This flanker of La Petite Robe Noire is a divisive beast: some find its leathery, medicinal edge sexy and sophisticated, while others run for the hills. Definitely not a blind buy for fans of generic crowd-pleasers.
Perfume Parlour's affordable interpretation of Monarch - Boadicea the Victorious. It leans on Red Berries, Artemisia, Tea to evoke the original's signature character at a budget-friendly price - a practical pick for fans who want the vibe without the designer outlay.

Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
Its bold leather and rose accord makes it too assertive for a professional office setting. However, its unique character and depth are well-suited for dates and formal events, though casual wear is also possible for those who prefer more edgy scents for everyday.
Seasons
Best in autumn and winter - the warm spicy, citrus profile suits those conditions, while extremes of heat or cold flatten the dupe's lighter composition.
