Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Sticky Dates EDP
Sticky Dates is a polarizing gourmand beast that smells like an actual bakery, not a perfume. You'll either love smelling like caramel lava or find it sickly sweet and overwhelming. Definitely not a safe blind buy, as its intensity and singular focus on dessert notes make it a love-it-or-hate-it affair.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Amber Dates EDP
A budget take on Lush's Sticky Dates. Amber Dates captures the gooey sticky-toffee-pudding heart of caramel and dates over velvety benzoin and sandalwood, but Perfume Parlour's version reads a touch flatter and projects more modestly than the original's potent, room-filling sweetness.

Season and Occasion Fit

Sticky Dates

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Occasions

Also Works:
Date Casual

Its beast-mode projection and intense sweetness make it completely unsuitable for the office or formal events, where subtlety is key. It can work for a casual night out or a date if applied lightly, but many find it too much for most social situations. Best kept for cozy, relaxed settings or as a room spray.

Amber Dates

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

The gooey caramel-date gourmand and resinous warmth are rich and cosy, made for cooler autumn and winter wear.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual

Its sweet, indulgent character suits cosy days, casual wear and easy evenings more than the office or the gym.
