Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - L de Lolita Lempicka EDP
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.
Statement
Our Verdict - Bourdeaux II EDP
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.

Formal

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.
