Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Blue Heart EDP
This one's a divisive beast, love-it-or-hate-it with a capital H for 'Headache'. Expect compliments from some, outright revulsion from others. Definitely do not blind buy; sample first to see if you get the creamy dream or the scrubber nightmare.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Resin XVIII EDP
Perfume Parlour's affordable interpretation of Le Labo Labdanum 18 - a woody fragrance led by Musk, Vanilla, French Labdanum, with musky depth. As a budget interpretation it sits lighter and more linear than the designer, but the core signature is there.

Season and Occasion Fit

Blue Heart

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Summer

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Formal

Its beastly performance means it's not a subtle choice for the office, risking overwhelming colleagues. However, this same projection makes it ideal for dates and evening events where you want to make a statement, with many finding it 'sultry' and 'addictive'.

Resin XVIII

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Office Casual

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