Which Should You Buy?
Perfume Parlour's affordable interpretation of Royal Scottish Lavender - a citrus fragrance led by Bergamot, Citrus, with aromatic depth. Expect a softer, closer-to-skin take on the original - the signature intact, the projection gentler.
Don't let the name fool you, there's nothing 'extreme' about this one. It's a fresh, unassuming scent that's loved by some for its clean simplicity, and dismissed by others as forgettably generic. Perfect for those who prefer their fragrance barely-there.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
Best in spring and summer - the citrus, aromatic profile suits those conditions, while extremes of heat or cold flatten the dupe's lighter composition.
Occasions
Keep it for casual and daily - the citrus accord gives presence while the gentle projection keeps it crowd-friendly.
Seasons
A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.
Occasions
Its poor longevity and low sillage make it ideal for office wear or casual daytime use, as it's unlikely to offend. It's not strong enough for formal events or impactful date nights, but its fresh character suits the gym or quick errands.
