Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Urban Musk EDP
Tom Ford's Urban Musk is fiercely divisive - you'll either love its raw, animalic funk or recoil in horror from its barnyard opening. It's not for the faint-hearted, but for those who get it, it's a deeply sensual, almost primal experience.

Our Verdict - Harrods Rose EDP
Bond No. 9 Harrods Rose is a divisive heavyweight, praised by many for its opulent, vintage-inspired rose and powerful performance, but some find it simply too much. If you like your roses big, powdery, and unapologetically floral, this has your name all over it. Be warned: it's not for the faint of heart, or for those who prefer their florals understated.

Season and Occasion Fit

Urban Musk

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn
Also Works:
Summer

Built for the cooler edges of the year - autumn and spring pair best.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Its intense opening and animalic nature make it unsuitable for the office or casual daytime wear. However, its bold and sensual character, combined with its long-lasting and potentially strong sillage, makes it perfect for dates and formal evening events where you want to make a statement.

Harrods Rose

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn
Also Works:
Winter

An autumn-weather scent at heart - warm leaves and shorter days territory.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Given its strong projection and long-lasting nature, this scent isn't ideal for the office where it could be overwhelming. It truly shines on dates and formal events, where its refined floral character can make a grand statement without being too casual.
