Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Bourdeaux For Women Eau de Parfum

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 - Gentlemen Only Absolute Eau de Parfum

This discontinued gem is a creamy, spicy-sweet winter warmer that's absolutely adored by its fans. While some call it a 'less refined' Spicebomb, many crown it superior - a shame it's so hard to find.
