Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Pomelo EDP
A blast of grapefruit-like pomelo that feels sparkling, crisp, and utterly refreshing. Pomelo is a sunlit, optimistic citrus for those who want to smell clean, zesty, and subtly unique.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Shaddock EDP
Perfume Parlour's affordable interpretation of Jo Loves (Jo Malone) - Pomelo - a woody fragrance led by Rose, Pomelo, with floral depth. Expect a softer, closer-to-skin take on the original - the signature intact, the projection gentler.

Season and Occasion Fit

Pomelo

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

The ultra-bright citrus and fresh green character make this ideal for spring and summer, while its subtle woody base is too light for winter but works in the early fall.

Occasions

Best For:
Office Date Casual Sport

Its airy citrus brightness is perfect for office, casual, and active settings, but it may be too sheer and breezy for formal occasions. Its non-intrusive nature works well for day-to-day use.

Shaddock

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

Reach for it across autumn and winter, where the woody signature sits most naturally; outside those months its softer projection thins out faster.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Office Casual

This one suits evening and daily settings; the easy, cosy character keeps it versatile for formal rotation too.
