This is a fiercely divisive rose-suede beast, with a hefty price tag that makes the 'love it or hate it' crowd even more vocal. It's either an understated luxury or an old lady's handbag - no middle ground here.

Perfume Parlour's budget take on Burberry The Beat - a fresh, spicy opening of pink pepper, cardamom and bergamot over a calming tea-and-iris heart and a soft cedar-musk base. PP captures the spa-like, tea-driven character that set the original apart from typical fruity-florals, though it reads a little flatter and lighter. A versatile, uplifting daytime scent for a fraction of the Burberry price.
