Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Notorious EDP
Notorious is an absolute chameleon, equally likely to spark adoration as it is disdain. Forget the name, it's a classy, intriguing floral with a surprising gourmand twist that some find divine and others, well, just a bit off.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Notorius For Women EDP
Perfume Parlour's affordable interpretation of Notorious - a musky fragrance led by bright opening notes, with gourmand depth. It captures the gist of the original at a fraction of the cost, rendering a touch simpler and quieter.

Season and Occasion Fit

Notorious

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Spring

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Office

Its moderate sillage and longevity, coupled with its elegant, warm spicy-floral profile, make it suitable for office and sophisticated evenings. However, its distinctive character might be a bit much for casual wear, and it lacks the freshness for sport.

Notorius For Women

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

Best in spring and summer - the musky, gourmand profile suits those conditions, while extremes of heat or cold flatten the dupe's lighter composition.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office Sport

Keep it for casual and daily - the musky accord gives presence while the gentle projection keeps it crowd-friendly.
