Which Should You Buy?
A divisive freshie, with prominent lime and a quirky cola-like licorice note. It's affordable and unique, but lacks staying power and might not appeal to everyone's taste.
Residing follows Lacoste's Live, that casual fresh woody-aquatic. Perfume Parlour nails the zesty lime and green-watery freshness, keeping the easy, uncomplicated vibe; like the original it stays light and fades on the modest side, but the budget price makes it an easy daily grab.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.
Occasions
This shines in casual settings or for sports due to its fresh, energising vibe and short longevity. It's too light for formal events and might not captivate on a date, though it's relatively inoffensive for the office despite its uniqueness.
Seasons
The zesty lime and green-watery freshness is built for warm weather, peaking in spring and summer and feeling thin in cold.
Occasions
Light and casual, it is ideal for the gym, the office and everyday wear, with less presence for formal occasions.
