Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Diamond Rose EDP
Pleasant but unremarkable, Montale's Diamond Rose offers a green, fresh take on the classic rose. It's nice, but lacks the distinctive edge you might expect from the brand. If you're after a shy, demure rose fragrance for spring, this is for you.

Our Verdict - Generation EDP
Perfume Parlour's affordable interpretation of Ex Nihilo - Vetiver Moloko - a citrus fragrance led by Bergamot, Bulgarian Rose, with floral depth. The dupe trades some of the original's depth and longevity for a wallet-friendly price, keeping the recognisable character.

Season and Occasion Fit

Diamond Rose

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport
Also Works:
Date

Its fresh, green, and subtle character makes it highly suitable for casual wear and the office. While pleasant, it might be too understated for a formal event or a high-impact date, and works well for sport despite potential low longevity.

Generation

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

Best in spring and summer - the citrus, floral 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 citrus accord gives presence while the gentle projection keeps it crowd-friendly.
