Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Royal Rose EDP
A truly polarising scent experience. If you love a rich, complex Taif rose and aren't afraid of a smoky, powdery incense backbone, this could be your surprisingly sophisticated dark horse. Otherwise, it might just be too much.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Sovereign Shrub For Women EDP
Perfume Parlour's affordable interpretation of Juicy Couture - Royal Rose - a floral fragrance led by Taif Rose, with smoky depth. It captures the gist of the original at a fraction of the cost, rendering a touch simpler and quieter.

Season and Occasion Fit

Royal Rose

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Spring

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Its striking and strong scent profile, with powdery, smoky, and amber accords, makes it a bit too bold for an everyday office environment, though some find it elegant enough for formal events. The sensual rose and incense notes lend themselves well to cooler-weather date nights, but it's far too heavy for casual warm-weather wear or sport.

Sovereign Shrub For Women

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

Best in spring and summer - the floral, smoky 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 floral accord gives presence while the gentle projection keeps it crowd-friendly.
