Which Should You Buy?
Perfume Parlour's budget version of Guerlain Herbes Troublantes, the quiet herbal-cologne. It captures the crisp bergamot, garden-herb and orange-blossom freshness over clean musk, though it reads a little sharper and simpler than the refined niche original - and like it, stays close to the skin.
This one is a proper head-scratcher. It's a polarising perfume, with some hailing its fresh, minty punch and others running for the hills from its 'pissy' or 'barnyard' undertones. Performance is a common complaint, so don't expect it to last for much more than a few hours.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
The crisp herbal-citrus freshness feels cleanest in spring and summer warmth and thins in the cold.
Occasions
Clean and unobtrusive, it slots easily into the office and casual daytime rather than bold evenings.
Seasons
A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.
Occasions
Its fresh, aromatic nature leans towards casual wear, particularly in warmer weather. While some find it suitable for the office due to its eventual skin-scent performance, its divisive opening and poor longevity make it less ideal for formal or date settings where sustained presence is desired. It performs well as a quick summer pick-me-up or for sport.
