Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Bourdeaux For Women Eau de Parfum

A budget Perfume Parlour interpretation of Lolita Lempicka L de Lolita Lempicka (2006) by Maurice Roucel - the vanilla-led composition with bitter orange, cinnamon and vanilla as the canonical signature. Honest dupe-fidelity at PP's budget price point.

Our Verdict - Symphonium Parfum

Symphonium is an extravagant gourmand that splits opinion - some find it an opulent chocolate orange dream, others a fleeting delight that dries down to an overpriced Pink Sugar imitation. It's a high-quality, cold-weather statement, but be warned, the incredible opening doesn't always last.
