Which Should You Buy?
A divisive scent for the young and sweet-toothed, this one splits opinion. Some find it a refreshing, easy-to-wear tropical delight, others dismiss it as fleeting, synthetic, and frankly, a bit childish. If you like fruity candies, you might just love it.
Pure Croc For Women is Perfume Parlour's take on Eau de Lacoste L.12.12 Pour Elle Natural, a soft floral-fruity. The dupe nails the juicy pineapple-and-coconut character but, like the original, stays light and discreet, with the budget version reading slightly sweeter and a touch less green.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.
Occasions
Its low projection and poor longevity make it suitable for office wear, as it won't offend. The fresh and fruity accords also lend themselves well to casual and sport settings, despite some finding it too sweet for active wear. It lacks the sophistication for formal events and the impact for a memorable date.
Seasons
Bright pineapple, soft florals and coconut make it a spring and summer scent, fading and feeling thin in cold weather.
Occasions
Its discreet, approachable freshness fits casual days, the office and daytime dates more than formal evenings.
