Which Should You Buy?
This discontinued gem is polarizing. For some, it's a sweet, cozy dream; for others, it's a cloying sugar bomb. If you can get your hands on a bottle, be prepared for a strong, long-lasting scent that leans heavily into amber sweetness.
Sweet Love is Perfume Parlour's match for Ralph Lauren's discontinued Tender Romance, a soft, soapy pear-and-white-floral. Fans of the original say it smells convincingly close; like the source it stays gentle and sweet, with the budget version giving a slightly simpler, cleaner musk drydown.

Its significant sweetness and strong projection make it less suitable for an office environment, where subtlety is key. It's a fantastic choice for dates and casual wear due to its romantic and cozy nature, but might be too intense for formal settings or sport.
Seasons
