Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Perseus EDP
Perseus is a divisive beast: some rave about its 'nuclear' fresh longevity and bright, modern citrus; others dismiss it as a sour, overpriced clone of Terre d'Hermes. Either way, it's a bold take on a classic profile, so don't blind buy.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Chalk EDP
Perfume Parlour's affordable interpretation of Boadicea The Victorious Chelsea. Built around Bergamot, Mahogany, Raspberry, it offers the character of the original at a budget price - a wallet-friendly alternative for fans of Boadicea The Victorious Chelsea.
