Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Mumbai Noise EDP
Mumbai Noise is a proper ruckus in a bottle, polarising and powerful. It's a love-it-or-hate-it kind of scent, with many finding its potent blend intoxicatingly unique while others deem it utterly unwearable. This ain't for the faint-hearted.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Bombay Dream EDP
A budget take on Byredo Mumbai Noise, Bombay Dream carries the same dry, smoky coffee-and-oud woody signature over a tonka warmth. Reviewers call it a dry, incense-y, compliment-getting wood - close in spirit, if a fraction less dense than the niche original.

Season and Occasion Fit

Mumbai Noise

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Occasions

Best For:
Date
Also Works:
Formal

Given its insane strength and projection, Mumbai Noise is completely out of place in an office. Its rich, deep accords and long-lasting nature make it ideal for dates and special evening events, but it's far too heavy for casual daytime wear or anything active.

Bombay Dream

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

The dry, smoky coffee, oud and woods are built for autumn and winter rather than warm weather.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

A sophisticated, smoky woody that suits formal evenings and after-dark wear.
