Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - London for Men EDT
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.
Favourite
Our Verdict - 125th & Bloom EDP
This one is a proper love-it-or-hate-it affair. Expect strong opinions, divisive reactions, and a good few people telling you it smells like 'fancy dirt'. It's unapologetically bold, so if you're after subtle, look elsewhere.

Season and Occasion Fit

London for Men

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Spring

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

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

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.

125th & Bloom

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Its potent projection and heavy leather-floral accords make it too strong for the office but perfect for evening events or a confident date night. Reviewers highlight its suitability for 'elegant dinners' and 'high-profile business events', reinforcing its formal and date appeal.
