Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Boss Woman EDP
Understated but instantly recognizable, Boss Woman is the archetype of clean, professional femininity. Mango-freesia freshness rides over a soft woody base, perfect for those who want to feel poised, composed and quietly distinctive.
Favourite
Our Verdict - French Antique EDP
Perfume Parlour's affordable interpretation of L'Instant de Guerlain pour Homme by Guerlain - a woody fragrance led by Cedar, Bergamot, Grapefruit, with citrus depth. It captures the gist of the original at a fraction of the cost, rendering a touch simpler and quieter.

Season and Occasion Fit

Boss Woman

Seasons

Best For:
Spring
Also Works:
Summer Autumn

The crisp mango, freesia and citrus make this a natural fit for spring, with enough freshness for summer. The light woody base can carry into fall, but lacks the density for winter.

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport
Also Works:
Date

Its clean, subtle projection and inoffensive floral-fruity profile are ideal for office and casual wear. It's versatile and unintrusive, working well for light sports or daytime dates, but is not quite dressy enough for formal occasions.

French Antique

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

Best in autumn and winter - the woody, citrus profile suits those conditions, while extremes of heat or cold flatten the dupe's lighter composition.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Office Casual

Keep it for evening and daily - the woody accord gives presence while the gentle projection keeps it crowd-friendly.
