Which Should You Buy?
A modern chypre that manages to be both classic and contemporary. This is a classy, grown-up scent for those who appreciate depth over fleeting sweetness, though some find it a tad too much, or not enough, depending on their skin chemistry.
A bittersweet discontinued gem, City Glam polarises with its sharp opening before settling into a loved, unique chypre floral. Many mourn its absence, while a vocal few found it too harsh or chemical. Definitely a scent that plays differently on skin.

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Occasions
Its above-average performance and bold character make it less ideal for the office or formal events. However, its 'night out' and 'drinks at a rooftop bar' vibe, alongside its casual 'jeans and t-shirt' appeal, demonstrate its versatility for dates and casual wear.
