Which Should You Buy?
Perfume Parlour's affordable interpretation of By Kilian Roses On Ice - a citrus fragrance led by Lime, Juniper Berries, Cucumber, with floral depth. As a budget interpretation it sits lighter and more linear than the designer, but the core signature is there.
A divisive floral with a polarising mahogany note, Un Amour de Patou either smells like a unique woody wonder or a celery catastrophe. Best snap up a vintage bottle if you want to find out for yourself, as it's discontinued.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
Best in spring and summer - the citrus, floral profile suits those conditions, while extremes of heat or cold flatten the dupe's lighter composition.
Occasions
Keep it for casual and daily - the citrus accord gives presence while the gentle projection keeps it crowd-friendly.
Seasons
A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.
Occasions
Its moderate sillage and sophisticated floral character make it suitable for office wear, though some find it quite potent. The romantic and elegant aura, noted by many reviewers, makes it perfect for dates and formal events. It's less suited for casual or sporty occasions due to its refined nature.
