Which Should You Buy?
This polarizing scent lives up to its name, evoking a melancholic beauty that's either a stroke of genius or a scrubber. It's a love-it-or-hate-it affair, with fans cherishing its unique, gothic floral character and detractors finding it far too literal in its 'decay'.
Loss Decompose channels Lush's cult Death and Decay, that melancholy funeral-lily soliflore. Perfume Parlour leans hard into the indolic white lily that defines the original, keeping the haunting powdery character while the longevity holds better than Lush's notoriously fleeting solid version.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Its intense, often indolic floral character and the polarising 'funeral home' association make it less suitable for casual or office wear. However, its unique and sophisticated profile, combined with good longevity, lends itself well to formal events or intimate dates where a darker, more intriguing aura is desired.
Seasons
The heady indolic lily suits spring blooms and the cosy melancholy of autumn and winter, feeling heavy in summer heat.
Occasions
Atmospheric and statement-making, it favours evenings and dates, with enough drama for a formal occasion.
