Which Should You Buy?
A legendary cinnamon-vanilla gourmand, now sadly discontinued, that still commands a passionate following. This is a warm, cosy hug in a bottle, perfect for cold days or when you need a bit of comforting sweetness.
Perfume Parlour's Bourdeaux II chases the discontinued L de Lolita Lempicka - the cinnamon-and-orange opening melting into creamy vanilla is recognisable, but this dupe loses the salty immortelle nuance and powerful projection that made the cult original so sought-after.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Occasions
Its strong, warm spicy and vanilla accords, coupled with reports of 'beast mode' sillage, make it more suited for cooler weather and intimate settings. It's too rich for sport or a typical office environment where subtlety is best.
Seasons
The spicy cinnamon and creamy vanilla-tonka base are made for cold autumn and winter wear and turn cloying in summer heat.
Occasions
Cosy, sweet and sensual - tailored to dates and evenings, with casual daily wear in cooler months; too rich for sport or office daytime.
