Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - So White EDP
This is Lush, so expect a divisive crowd-pleaser that people either adore or instantly dismiss as 'shampoo'. For the fans though, this is the freshest, juiciest apple bomb around, perfect for an invigorating pick-me-up.

Our Verdict - Very Clear EDP
Perfume Parlour's affordable interpretation of So White - a citrus fragrance led by Orange, Citrus, with floral depth. It captures the gist of the original at a fraction of the cost, rendering a touch simpler and quieter.

Season and Occasion Fit

So White

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

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

Occasions

Best For:
Casual Sport
Also Works:
Office

Its fresh, energetic, and fruity profile makes it highly suitable for casual wear and invigorating sport activities. It's a bit too bold for formal events and can be too 'shampoo-like' for office settings, though a light hand could make it work.

Very Clear

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

The citrus character is happiest in spring and summer - the freshness reads bright and clean in milder weather; the dupe's lighter build means it can struggle to project in the opposite season.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office Sport

Its citrus, floral signature leans toward casual and daily wear - approachable enough for date use without overwhelming a room.
