Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - New York Musk EDP
New York Musk is a divisive masterpiece of musk and wood, striking some as a sophisticated, alluring skin scent, while others recoil from its animalic nature. It's a love-it-or-hate-it scent for those who dare to venture into bold musky territory.

Perfume Parlour's affordable interpretation of Bond No.9 New York Musk. It leans on Black Currant, Grapefruit Blossom, Lily to evoke the original's signature character at a budget-friendly price - a practical pick for fans who want the vibe without the designer outlay.

Season and Occasion Fit

New York Musk

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date
Also Works:
Casual Formal

The strong, musky character, which can be perceived as animalic by some, makes it less ideal for a formal office setting. However, its bold and sensual nature, coupled with decent longevity for some, makes it a compelling choice for dates and evenings out.

Dear City

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

The woody character is happiest in autumn and winter - cooler air gives the warmth room to bloom; the dupe's lighter build means it can struggle to project in the opposite season.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Office Casual

Its woody, fruity signature leans toward evening and daily wear - approachable enough for formal use without overwhelming a room.
