Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Calacas EDP
A truly divisive scent: some find its zesty, sour tang utterly addictive, like a lime sweetshop in a bottle, while for others, it's a migraine-inducing, flat-out nauseating experience. You'll either love it or hate it, there's no in-between.

Our Verdict - Skull EDP
Perfume Parlour's affordable interpretation of Calacas - a citrus fragrance led by Lime, with floral depth. As a budget interpretation it sits lighter and more linear than the designer, but the core signature is there.

Season and Occasion Fit

Calacas

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

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

Occasions

Best For:
Casual Sport
Also Works:
Date

Its bright, energetic citrus profile makes it perfect for casual wear and post-workout refreshment. The strong, sometimes headache-inducing sillage means it's less suited for office or very formal environments.

Skull

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.
