Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Busty EDP
Perfume Parlour withhold the name of the fragrance this one interprets, so we will not guess at it. What we can say is what is in the bottle: a classic aromatic fougere, opening on grapefruit and lemon over lavender, with geranium, rose and orange blossom in the heart and a soft coumarin, moss and sandalwood base. Barbershop-clean and comfortably wearable, though it sits closer to the skin than a designer original would.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Stars EDP
Jimmy Choo Stars is a delicious take on the original, with candied orange and toffee that many reviewers adore, though a vocal minority find the patchouli overwhelming. It's a real love-it-or-hate-it gourmand with impressive staying power.

Season and Occasion Fit

Busty

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office Sport

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

Stars

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its strong projection and sweet, heavy gourmand character make it less suitable for office wear. However, its cozy and sensual profile, combined with many noting its long-lasting performance, makes it an excellent choice for dates, cooler casual gatherings, and even formal autumn/winter events.
