Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Velvet Gardenia EDP
Tom Ford's Velvet Gardenia lives up to its name, presenting a lush, creamy white floral that's divisive yet undeniably captivating. Prepare for a rich, dark floral experience that some adore, while others find too much to handle.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Silky Lawn EDP
Perfume Parlour's affordable interpretation of Tom Ford - Velvet Gardenia - a floral fragrance led by Gardenia, Orange, with citrus depth. As a budget interpretation it sits lighter and more linear than the designer, but the core signature is there.

Season and Occasion Fit

Velvet Gardenia

Seasons

Best For:
Winter
Also Works:
Spring Summer Autumn

A winter perfume through and through - made for cold, dark months.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

This perfume's potent nature and prominent sillage make it less suited for casual or office wear. It truly shines in formal or date settings, where its rich, seductive character can be fully appreciated.

Silky Lawn

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

Best in spring and summer - the floral, citrus 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 floral accord gives presence while the gentle projection keeps it crowd-friendly.
