Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Bourdeaux For Women

A budget Perfume Parlour interpretation of Lolita Lempicka L de Lolita Lempicka (2006) by Maurice Roucel - the vanilla-led composition with bitter orange, cinnamon and vanilla as the canonical signature. Honest dupe-fidelity at PP's budget price point.

Our Verdict - Monarque

This is a serious gourmand with beast-mode performance, a sweet and spicy vanilla bomb that manages to be both refined and outrageously long-lasting. If you're after compliments and a scent that announces your arrival, Monarque is your weapon of choice.

Its potent projection and considerable longevity make it less suitable for an office environment, but it excels in intimate settings or evenings out. The rich, sweet gourmand profile lends itself perfectly to cooler weather and formal events where you want to make a statement.
