Which Should You Buy?
This one's a proper head-scratcher. Gorgeous, unique blend of saffron and woods, but Jo Malone's usual tricks mean it vanishes quicker than your hopes of finding a full-sized bottle at a decent price. Loved by many, but its shocking performance will have you fuming.
A budget clone of BornToStandOut's Drunk Saffron. The indulgent cognac-plum-and-vanilla gourmand with its leathery saffron lands recognisably, though Perfume Parlour renders the niche original's rich texture and monster longevity simpler and shorter.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
Its intimate projection makes it ideal for office wear, avoiding any olfactory assaults on colleagues. While pleasant for dates or casual outings, its poor longevity means it won't last through a full evening, a common complaint among reviewers.
Seasons
The sweet, boozy, leathery gourmand is built for the cold, shining in autumn and winter evenings.
Occasions
Rich and sensual, it's a natural date and evening scent with the warmth for a formal occasion.
