Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Lafayette Street EDP

Bond No. 9 Lafayette Street is a divisive one, hyped by many as a mass-appealing, versatile masterpiece, but dismissed by others as overpriced and utterly generic. It's safe, sure, but whether it smells 'luxurious' or like cheap wet wipes depends entirely on your nose and your budget.

Our Verdict - Ajyal EDP

Ajyal is a beast mode fruity-fresh scent that’s incredibly complex, shifting from juicy opening to warm, sweet drydown. It’s not for everyone, with its unique profile and powerful performance dividing opinions, but those who love it rave about its masterful blend.

Occasions

Best For:

Its mass-appealing, clean and fresh profile makes it suitable for most casual and date settings. While some find it versatile enough for office wear, others pinpoint a shower gel vibe that might be a touch too strong for a formal environment.

Ajyal

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Summer Autumn

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions

Best For:

Date Casual

Also Works:

Formal

This is a beast of a fragrance with massive projection and longevity, making it unsuitable for most office environments where subtlety is key. Its complex, attention-grabbing profile and fresh-sweet nature make it perfect for dates and casual outings, and its luxurious feel allows it to dress up for certain formal events, though perhaps not the most traditional. It's too heavy for active sport.
