Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Prada EDP
This one's a proper love-it-or-hate-it affair. Expect a bold, confident blast of earthy patchouli and rich amber - a sophisticated scent for those who appreciate a strong statement, and definitely not one for the timid.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Meadows EDP
Perfume Parlour's affordable interpretation of Prada - a citrus fragrance led by Bitter Orange, Mandarin, with woody depth. The dupe trades some of the original's depth and longevity for a wallet-friendly price, keeping the recognisable character.

Season and Occasion Fit

Prada

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Its potent projection and long-lasting nature, coupled with its rich, amber-patchouli profile, make it less suitable for office wear. However, its elegance and perceived sexiness are perfect for formal events and date nights, where its bold character can truly shine.

Meadows

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

Reach for it across spring and summer, where the citrus signature sits most naturally; outside those months its softer projection thins out faster.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office Sport

This one suits casual and daily settings; the easy, breezy character keeps it versatile for date rotation too.
