Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - White Rose & Lemon Leaves EDT
A bright, dewy white rose cut with sharp green lemon - a fresh, polished, distinctly British floral that opens loud and citrusy before settling into a clean, never-dusty rose. Prized as one of the most pristine white roses on the niche shelf; the chief gripe is soft, short-lived performance.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Red Citrus EDP
Perfume Parlour's affordable citrus interpretation, led by Grapefruit, Mandarin with floral depth. It captures the gist of the style at a fraction of the cost, rendering a touch simpler and quieter.

Season and Occasion Fit

White Rose & Lemon Leaves

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

A bright, dewy, green-citrus rose is a textbook spring and summer composition - wearers call it refreshing and bracing for warm weather, evoking a cool morning rose garden. Too light and fresh to carry through cold autumn or winter.

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual
Also Works:
Date

The soft, clean, unobtrusive profile is ideal for office and casual daytime wear and pretty for a daytime date. Its quiet sillage and fresh-floral register make it too understated for formal evening occasions.

Red Citrus

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

Best in spring and summer - the citrus, floral profile suits those conditions, while extremes of heat or cold flatten the 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.
