Which Should You Buy?
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.
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
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
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.
Seasons
The gooey caramel-date gourmand and resinous warmth are rich and cosy, made for cooler autumn and winter wear.
Occasions
Its sweet, indulgent character suits cosy days, casual wear and easy evenings more than the office or the gym.
Similarity Breakdown
Both share Sweet, Amber, Warm Spicy accords and Caramel, Benzoin notes
