Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - NoHo For Women

NoHo chases Bond No.9's Astor Place - that bold, perfumey freesia-and-violet-leaf spring floral over smooth teakwood and musk. The dupe keeps the clean, resinous freesia centre but renders it softer and less radiant, with the woody-musk base trimmed and the original's strong sillage scaled right back.

Our Verdict - Astor Place

Astor Place is a divisive powerhouse floral; some can't get enough of its vibrant freshness, while others find it screechy and overbearing. It's a loud and unapologetic statement, perfect for those who want their presence known.
