Which Should You Buy?
One of the most beloved designer tobacco scents, London for Men envelops you in spicy warmth and refined nostalgia. It is a comforting, gentlemanly staple for cold weather and evening wear.
No.318 chases Burberry London for Men's frosted-mint-and-brandy character, pairing a cool mint-lavender opening with a creamy sandalwood-coconut heart and a tonka-amber base. It is simpler and less layered than the original, with shorter longevity, but the fireside-brandy mood comes through clearly.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
Rich tobacco, cinnamon, and leather give this a warm, enveloping character that excels in fall and winter. The moderate sweetness and woody depth make it less fitting for hot weather but wearable in early spring.
Occasions
Its spicy-tobacco warmth and moderate boldness suit dates and formal events, while the richness can be a bit much for office or sporty settings. Works for casual evenings, less so for daytime business.
