Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Sexy Ruby EDP
This one is a real love-it-or-hate-it. While some adore its boozy, fruity-rose embrace, others find it shockingly bad, smelling cheap, medicinal, or like stale rosé. Definitely try before you buy, but for the right chemistry, it's a sensual gem.

Our Verdict - Hot Gemstone EDP
Perfume Parlour's affordable interpretation of Sexy Ruby Eau de Parfum - a floral fragrance led by Apricot, Raspberry, with fruity depth. It captures the gist of the original at a fraction of the cost, rendering a touch simpler and quieter.

Season and Occasion Fit

Sexy Ruby

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Spring

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its moderate projection and sweet, slightly syrupy nature make it less ideal for the office or sport. However, the sensual muskiness and boozy-fruity character are perfect for dates and formal evening events, as many reviewers highlight its alluring quality.

Hot Gemstone

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

Best in spring and summer - the floral, fruity profile suits those conditions, while extremes of heat or cold flatten the dupe's lighter composition.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office Sport

Keep it for casual and daily - the floral accord gives presence while the gentle projection keeps it crowd-friendly.
