Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Nina EDT
This one's a proper nostalgia trip, adored by many for its cheerful vibe but it struggles with projection. Don't expect it to turn heads from across the room, but for a personal blast of happy, fruity sweetness, it's spot on.
Favourite
Our Verdict - With The Dark EDP
Perfume Parlour's affordable interpretation of La Colle Noir - a fruity fragrance led by Lemon, with floral depth. Expect a softer, closer-to-skin take on the original - the signature intact, the projection gentler.

Season and Occasion Fit

Nina

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer
Also Works:
Autumn

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

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport
Also Works:
Date

Nina's fresh and sweet profile, combined with its generally moderate longevity and sillage, makes it highly suitable for casual wear, office settings where subtlety is preferred, and even active use. It's less ideal for formal events where more gravitas is often desired.

With The Dark

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

The fruity character is happiest in spring and summer - the freshness reads bright and clean in milder weather; the dupe's lighter build means it can struggle to project in the opposite season.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office Sport

Its fruity, floral signature leans toward casual and daily wear - approachable enough for date use without overwhelming a room.
