Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Sherwood EDP
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.

Our Verdict - My New York EDP
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.

Season and Occasion Fit

Sherwood

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn
Also Works:
Summer Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office

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.
