Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Paris Eau de Parfum

A perfectly balanced violet that's both refined and a bit aloof. Often described as elegant yet distinctly modern, Balenciaga Paris is a beloved, versatile scent that many lament has been discontinued.

Our Verdict - London Eau de Parfum

London is a love-it-or-hate-it affair, pairing fresh, dewy rose and cucumber with a striking leather base. Some find it innovative and evocative of a rainy London day, others simply can't get past the 'barnyard' leather or 'band-aid' notes. Definitely one to try before you buy.

Season and Occasion Fit

Paris Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:

Spring

Also Works:

Summer Autumn

A spring fragrance - light, bright, made for the warmer turn of the year.

Occasions

Best For:

Office Date Casual

Also Works:

Formal

Its moderate sillage and elegant, clean profile make it ideal for office and casual wear, projecting sophistication without overwhelming. While versatile, its subtle nature might be less impactful for truly formal events or high-energy sport. Many reviewers explicitly mention it as a work-day go-to.

London Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:

Spring

Also Works:

Summer

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.

Occasions

Best For:

Casual

Also Works:

Office Date

Its moderate projection and fresh yet interesting profile make it suitable for casual daytime wear, but the distinct leather might be too polarising for formal settings. Reviewers often mention wearing it during the day or on rainy spring days, fitting for offices where strong sillage isn't an issue.
