Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Karma
Lush Karma is a divisive beast, a love-it-or-hate-it scent that's either a fizzy orange dream or a messy hippie shop. It's potent and unapologetic, demanding attention whether you're ready for it or not. Definitely not a safe blind buy, but unforgettable if it clicks with you.
Statement
Our Verdict - Composed
Perfume Parlour's affordable interpretation of Karma. Built around Elemi, Orange, Lavender, it offers the character of the original at a budget price - a wallet-friendly alternative for fans of Karma.

Season and Occasion Fit

Karma

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer Autumn
Also Works:
Winter

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual

Karma's strong sillage and impressive longevity make it too potent for an office setting, but perfect for casual outings or dates where you want to make a statement. The unique, earthy-citrus blend is too unconventional for most formal events, but can shine in cooler weather or creative environments.

Composed

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

Best in spring and summer - the citrus, aromatic 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.
