Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Touch of Pink EDT
A divisive scent that evokes strong nostalgia for many, but can feel dated or overtly synthetic to others. It's a fresh, youthful burst that some will adore for its carefree charm, while others find it a bit too simple or headache-inducing.

Our Verdict - Hint Of Colour EDP
Perfume Parlour's affordable interpretation of Touch Of Pink - a citrus fragrance led by Blood Orange, Coriander, with floral depth. It captures the gist of the original at a fraction of the cost, rendering a touch simpler and quieter.

Season and Occasion Fit

Touch of Pink

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.

Occasions

Best For:
Casual Sport
Also Works:
Office Date

Its fresh, light, and inoffensive character makes it suitable for casual wear and daily activities, especially during warmer weather. While some find it too strong for the office, its generally modest sillage means it can work if applied lightly, but it lacks the sophistication for formal events.

Hint Of Colour

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

Best in spring and summer - the citrus, floral profile suits those conditions, while extremes of heat or cold flatten the dupe's lighter composition.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office Sport

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