Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Bonbon
This one's a true crowd-pleaser for gourmand lovers, though some find it a bit too sweet and lacking in depth. It's a comforting blend of caramel and fruit that many adore, even if it might not be everyone's cup of tea.

Our Verdict - Sweet Candy
Perfume Parlour's affordable interpretation of Bonbon - a citrus fragrance led by Peach, Orange, Mandarin Orange, with woody depth. The dupe trades some of the original's depth and longevity for a wallet-friendly price, keeping the recognisable character.

Season and Occasion Fit

Bonbon

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Spring

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office

Its moderate projection and generally pleasant, inoffensive sweetness make it suitable for office wear, but it truly shines on a date due to its alluring gourmand character. It's too sweet for formal events and actively unsuitable for sport.

Sweet Candy

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

Reach for it across spring and summer, where the citrus signature sits most naturally; outside those months its softer projection thins out faster.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office Sport

This one suits casual and daily settings; the easy, breezy character keeps it versatile for date rotation too.
