Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - London EDP
Tom Ford London is an absolute love-it-or-hate-it affair. It's divisive, animalic, and boldly challenging according to some; to others, it's a masterful, complex ode to a specific urban grit. One thing's for sure: it's not a safe blind buy.
Statement
Our Verdict - Smell Dubai Oil
A luxurious Middle Eastern-inspired fragrance that commands attention with its powerful oud and spice mix.

Season and Occasion Fit

London

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date
Also Works:
Formal

Given its strong spicy and animalic profile, London is best suited for evening wear and dates, where its mysterious charm can unfold. Its moderate sillage and longevity mean it might just about pass in some office settings if applied lightly, but it's too distinctive for casual daytime wear or sports.
