Mumbai Noise Eau de Parfum vs Red Velvet Eau de Parfum
ScentArt
Which Should You Buy?
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.
Red Velvet nails the cherry-topped twist on Black Opium's coffee-vanilla DNA at the opening, but the patchouli-coffee base is thinner and settles faster than YSL's Black Opium Over Red.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
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.
Seasons
The dense cherry-coffee-vanilla combination suits cooler evenings best, too heavy and sweet for summer heat.
Occasions
A bold, sultry gourmand best suited to evenings out and dates; too heavy for the office or daytime casual wear.
