Which Should You Buy?
This caramel-nutty gourmand from Bond No. 9 is a sweet, cosy embrace that polarises opinion. Many love its warm depth, but a vocal minority find it surprisingly harsh and even nauseating. It's often compared to BR540 but with a more pronounced gourmand twist - some say a better twist.
A budget take on Bond No 9 TriBeCa, Tribeca Harmony nails the roasted hazelnut-and-cacao opening over a caramel-ambroxan base. It leans a little sweeter and less airy than the refined, skin-scent original, but the moreish gourmand-chypre character is intact.
