Which Should You Buy?
This one's a proper head-scratcher. Sherwood is less 'forest fantasy' and more 'creamy sandalwood enigma'. Some reckon it's a smooth, comforting dream, others find it a nauseating, persistent nightmare. Definitely one to sample, as it clearly hits different for everyone.
Bond No. 9's My New York is a divisive beast: some hail its unique spicy rose blend, while for others, it's a 'no, thank you' on a rose-heavy train. Definitely not a safe blind buy, so sample it first and see if you too can break from the shackles of perfume etiquette.

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Its moderate sillage and creamy, soft character make it suitable for close-proximity situations like dates and casual wear. While some find it office-appropriate, others report strong longevity and a 'creamy thick' quality that could be too much in a formal or very professional setting.
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Several reviewers attest to its suitability for the office, owing to its well-blended nature and moderate projection. Its unique, sophisticated blend of woody and rose accords also makes it a strong contender for dates and formal events, though perhaps less fitting for purely casual wear or sport.
