Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - New York Nights EDP
Bond No. 9 New York Nights is a confusing beast - a divisive gourmand that throws everything but the kitchen sink at you. You'll either get creamy banana bread dreams or nail polish remover. Not for the faint-hearted or those seeking linear perfection, but undoubtedly unique.
Statement
Our Verdict - Game of Spades Moon EDP
This one's a definite love-it-or-hate-it. Some call it stunning and an exquisite caramel dream, a night-time banger. Others smell synthetic plastic and a repulsive banana. Don't blind buy, sample first to see which camp you fall into.
