Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - I Don't Need A Prince By My Side To Be A Princess Eau de Parfum
Don't let the eye-rolling name distract you: this is a fluffy, sweet gourmand that's divisive enough to inspire impassioned declarations of love or outright disgust. If you're a gourmand fan, it's worth a sniff, but sample first - it's not a blind buy.
Statement
Our Verdict - Unknown Pleasures Eau de Parfum
A truly polarising beast, Unknown Pleasures is either a zesty, caramelised lemon cake of pure joy or a burnt, synthetic, and frankly bizarre curry-like mess. Sample first, this one's a wild ride.

Season and Occasion Fit

I Don't Need A Prince By My Side To Be A Princess Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn Winter

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual

Its sweet, inviting nature makes it an excellent choice for casual outings and dates, but its intimate projection means it won't overpower in an office setting. However, the gourmand sweetness might be less suited for very formal events or high-energy sports activities.

Unknown Pleasures Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn Winter

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual

Its potent projection and distinct gourmand profile make Unknown Pleasures a bit much for the office. However, it excels in casual and date settings, especially in colder weather, where its warmth and sweetness can shine without overwhelming. It's too unique and playful for most formal events and completely unsuitable for sport.
