Which Should You Buy?
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.
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
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
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.
Seasons
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
Keep it for casual and daily - the citrus accord gives presence while the gentle projection keeps it crowd-friendly.
