Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - I Don't Need A Prince By My Side To Be A Princess EDP
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 - Royalty Not Needed EDP
Perfume Parlour's affordable interpretation of By Kilian - I Don't Need A Prince By My Side To Be A Princess - a fruity fragrance led by Lemon, with citrus 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

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

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.

Royalty Not Needed

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

The fruity character is happiest in spring and summer - the freshness reads bright and clean in milder weather; the dupe's lighter build means it can struggle to project in the opposite season.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office Sport

Its fruity, citrus signature leans toward casual and daily wear - approachable enough for date use without overwhelming a room.
