Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Basil & Neroli EDC
Utterly crisp and light, Basil & Neroli Cologne is pure bottled dew - a green, sparkling breeze that feels like a cool morning in an English garden. For those craving effortless freshness, this is Jo Malone at its most luminous.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Vicious EDP
Perfume Parlour's affordable interpretation of Fierce - a citrus fragrance led by Petitgrain, Cardamom, Lemon, with floral depth. It captures the gist of the original at a fraction of the cost, rendering a touch simpler and quieter.

Season and Occasion Fit

Basil & Neroli

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer
Also Works:
Autumn

The crisp basil and luminous neroli shine in warmer temperatures, making this ideal for spring and summer. Its airy, dewy green character can be refreshing in early fall, but is too light for winter's chill.

Occasions

Best For:
Office Date Casual Sport

Its soft projection and breezy freshness make it perfect for office, casual, and even sporty situations where subtlety and cleanliness are prized. It lacks the gravitas for formal occasions but feels fresh and approachable for daytime and active moments.

Vicious

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

Reach for it across spring and summer, where the citrus signature sits most naturally; outside those months its softer projection thins out faster.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office Sport

This one suits casual and daily settings; the easy, breezy character keeps it versatile for date rotation too.
