Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Not A Perfume EDP
A skin-scent for minimalists and scent-shy, Not A Perfume is the ultimate in modern understated elegance. Its pure, hypoallergenic formula is both easygoing and quietly magnetic.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Honey Yellow EDP
Perfume Parlour's affordable interpretation of Amouage Amber - a amber fragrance led by Ambergris, with woody depth. The dupe trades some of the original's depth and longevity for a wallet-friendly price, keeping the recognisable character.

Season and Occasion Fit

Not A Perfume

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer
Also Works:
Autumn

Its clean, airy and minimalist amber-woody-musk character is ideal for spring and summer, never cloying or heavy. It lacks warmth or density for winter's cold, but can feel crisp and inviting on mild autumn days.

Occasions

Best For:
Office Date Casual Sport

With subtle projection, hypoallergenic composition, and a neutral, universally pleasant scent, it's perfect for office, casual, or active settings. Too understated for most formal events but effortlessly clean for daily use.

Honey Yellow

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

Best in autumn and winter - the amber, woody profile suits those conditions, while extremes of heat or cold flatten the dupe's lighter composition.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Office Casual

Keep it for evening and daily - the amber accord gives presence while the gentle projection keeps it crowd-friendly.
