Which Should You Buy?
Tom Ford Lavender Extreme is a love-it-or-hate-it affair, polarizing perfumistas. Some call it the best lavender ever, others a basic rip-off. It's a testament to the fact that even well-blended Tom Ford can't please everyone, especially at this price.
Perfume Parlour's affordable powdery interpretation, led by Bergamot, Lavender with citrus depth. The dupe keeps the recognisable character at a wallet-friendly price, trading some depth and longevity.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Its moderate projection and smooth, comforting scent make it highly suitable for casual wear and dates. While it can be worn in the office due to its pleasant nature, some find it a bit too prominent for formal settings. It's definitely not a sport scent.
Seasons
The powdery character is happiest in spring and summer - the freshness reads bright and clean in milder weather; the dupe's lighter build can struggle to project in the opposite season.
Occasions
Its powdery, citrus signature leans toward casual and daily wear - approachable enough for date use without overwhelming a room.
