Which Should You Buy?
Divisive yet adored, this boozy, balsamic powerhouse from Roja Dove is pure liquid gold for those who appreciate its unique charm. It's a shame it's discontinued, as many consider it the pinnacle of the 'Parfum De La Nuit' line, but brace yourself for the price tag if you do track it down.
Perfume Parlour's affordable interpretation of Parfum De La Nuit No 2 - a citrus fragrance led by Lemon, Bergamot, Orange, with woody depth. Expect a softer, closer-to-skin take on the original - the signature intact, the projection gentler.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Occasions
Given its strong projection and longevity, this fragrance is best suited for evenings and special occasions. While some suggest it could be worn by those in leadership roles, its opulent and seductive nature makes it overpowering for a typical office environment. Dates and formal events benefit from its rich, mysterious aura.
Seasons
The citrus character is happiest in spring and summer - the freshness reads bright and clean in milder weather; the dupe's lighter build means it can struggle to project in the opposite season.
Occasions
Its citrus, woody signature leans toward casual and daily wear - approachable enough for date use without overwhelming a room.
