Which Should You Buy?
A budget take on Bond No 9 Greenwich Village. Village Charm captures the juicy lychee-and-cassis fruity-floral opening and the sweet praline-vanilla-amber drydown closely - a solid clone - though as reviewers note it gives up some sillage and longevity to the original, lasting around 6-7 hours versus the Bond's all-day wear.
Seriously divisive, mainly due to its terrible longevity. If you can get it for a steal, or manage to find a rare bottle that lasts, you're in for a sweet, airy treat. Otherwise, save your money.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
The juicy fruit and bright florals suit spring and summer, with the sweet amber base carrying it into autumn.
Occasions
A sweet, cheerful fruity-floral for casual days, dates and easy evenings; a touch sweet for the office.
Seasons
A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.
Occasions
Its sweet, light, and airy nature with an aquatic touch makes it great for casual wear, especially in warmer weather. However, the notoriously poor longevity means it struggles to make an impact for formal events or longer occasions, and the sweetness can be a bit much for the office. It's a 'spray and go' kind of scent, perfect for daytime activities.
