Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

The citrus character is happiest in spring and summer - the freshness reads bright and clean in milder weather; the dupe's lighter build means it can struggle to project in the opposite season.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office Sport

Its citrus, floral signature leans toward casual and daily wear - approachable enough for date use without overwhelming a room.

About

English Castle is Perfume Parlour's budget take on Windsor. It opens with Pine, Lime, leads into a heart of Rose, and dries down to Cedar, Eucalyptus, Orange. The overall character is citrus with floral and woody facets. As a dupe it stays closer to the skin with softer projection and shorter wear than the original, but keeps the signature accord recognisable - an easy everyday way to enjoy the style.
