Which Should You Buy?
Radio Bombay is a beautifully complex and polarising scent. Folks either rave about its electric, creamy sandalwood and coconut, or they're put off by a metallic note or fleeting performance. It's unique, but definitely one to try on your skin before committing.
This one's a proper divisive scent. Some reckon it's a creamy, woody dream, a proper 'your skin but better' vibe for summer. Others? Well, let's just say they're getting ants, cat piss, or flat-out nothing. It’s either a subtle gem or a total flop depending on your nose and skin.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Given its moderate projection and a distinct 'skin scent' quality after the initial burst, Radio Bombay is versatile for casual wear and intimate dates. It won't overwhelm an office, but might lack the gravitas for formal events. The woody, musky character combined with its intimate sillage makes it quite adaptable.
Seasons
A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.
Occasions
Its intimate sillage and frequently reported short longevity make it perfect for office or casual wear where subtlety is key. While some find it romantic, its delicate nature might be lost in a formal setting. Its 'fresh out of the shower' and 'skin scent' vibe makes it suitable for light activity.
