Which Should You Buy?
This raspberry and almond powder-puff caused a stir and its discontinuation led to wailing and gnashing of teeth. It's a sweet, playful scent that's loved for its unique, comforting softness, though some find it a bit too sweet or powdery for their taste.
Energetic II chases Guerlain My Insolence, the bright raspberry-and-violet flanker of the cult Insolence. The sweet raspberry-citrus opening and soft powdery vanilla drydown are recognisable, but Perfume Parlour skips the signature candied violet and renders the whole thing simpler, sweeter and shorter-lived than the Guerlain.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Its moderate sillage and sweet, comforting blend make it great for casual outings and dates, receiving many compliments. While versatile, its sweetness and projection might be too much for a formal setting or close office environments, and it's certainly not suited for sport.
Seasons
A sweet, fruity floral that suits spring and summer best and lingers pleasantly into autumn; too light and sugary for deep winter.
Occasions
Best for casual daytime, daily wear and playful dates; the sweetness reads too informal for formal occasions.
