Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - First Love EDP
If you're after a clean, inoffensive, fresh floral that smells uncannily like Chanel Chance Eau Tendre but for a fraction of the price, this is for you. Just don't expect it to last.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Pulse EDP
Perfume Parlour's affordable interpretation of Where My Heart Beats - Gucci - a powdery fragrance led by Violet Leaves, with floral depth. Expect a softer, closer-to-skin take on the original - the signature intact, the projection gentler.

Season and Occasion Fit

First Love

Seasons

Best For:
Spring
Also Works:
Summer

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport

Its clean, inoffensive profile and poor longevity make it perfect for office wear or casual daytime activities where you want a subtle scent. It's not one for making a strong statement on a date or at a formal event.

Pulse

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

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