Which Should You Buy?
Our Verdict - Boudoir Eau de Parfum
A truly iconic, complex, and divisive fragrance. Boudoir is pure, unadulterated Vivienne Westwood: a punk-rock baroque extravaganza that polarises opinion. It's either an intoxicating, high-class 'dirty' floral or an overwhelming, skanky mess. One thing is certain: there's nothing else like her.

Our Verdict - Porto Eau de Parfum
A budget Noted Aromas interpretation of Tom Ford Rose Prick (2020) - turkish rose, turmeric and patchouli translated into NA's UK dupe-house take at a fraction of the original's price. Honest dupe-fidelity for daily wear.

Boudoir's strong sillage and long-lasting, deep spicy floral character make it completely unsuitable for the office, where it would overwhelm. It's designed for intimate, special moments like a date or an evening event, where its seductive nature can truly shine, rather than casual wear or sport.
