Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Dallachaï EDT
Dallachaï is Montale's divisive tropical-spicy gourmand, a love-it-or-hate-it affair. Expect compliments if it clicks with your skin, but brace for potential 'celery salt' or 'nauseating chemical' reactions. Definitely not a safe blind buy.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Dalla Chai EDP
Dalla Chai is Perfume Parlour's version of Montale's Dallachai, a spiced-coffee gourmand built on cardamom, clove and creamy coffee. The dupe lands that cosy chai-and-coffee warmth, though the budget oil renders the niche original's creamy-lactonic richness a touch flatter and shorter.
