Which Should You Buy?
Prepare for a polarised reaction with Glinda. Some will find this a deliciously playful violet-sherbet bomb, whilst others might sniff out a 'clay-like' or 'musty' edge. It's a whimsical, sweet treat that might not be for everyone, but will be adored by those who get it.
Glinda Believe is Perfume Parlour's take on Lush's We Believe in Glinda, a compact powdery-floral built around violet leaf, rose oil, orris root, vanilla and almond. It captures the original's soft, iris-driven powderiness reasonably well at a fraction of the cost, though it is a simpler, shorter-lived rendition without Lush's naturals-heavy depth.

Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Occasions
Its sweet, playful character and moderate longevity make it ideal for casual wear and dates. It's a bit too whimsical and noticeable for formal occasions, and frankly, who wants to smell like fizzy sweets at the gym?
