Favourite
Our Verdict - Plated II EDP
Perfume Parlour's affordable interpretation of Widian Gold Ii Sahara - a floral fragrance led by Orange, Saffron, Elemi, with citrus depth. Expect a softer, closer-to-skin take on the original - the signature intact, the projection gentler.

Season and Occasion Fit

Gold II Sahara

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Spring

Rich resinous and floral notes make it ideal for cooler seasons like fall and winter, yet it can transition into spring with its floral facets.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Office Casual

The luxurious and complex scent profile suits evening dates and formal occasions, while projection keeps it moderate for some office settings.

Plated II

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

The floral 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

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office Sport

Its floral, citrus signature leans toward casual and daily wear - approachable enough for date use without overwhelming a room.
