Which Should You Buy?
This green, woody Balenciaga offering is a divisive one. You'll either adore its unique cool pea-pod freshness and sophistication or wrinkle your nose at its savoury, pickle-like oddness. It's truly a love-it-or-hate-it kind of scent.
London is a love-it-or-hate-it affair, pairing fresh, dewy rose and cucumber with a striking leather base. Some find it innovative and evocative of a rainy London day, others simply can't get past the 'barnyard' leather or 'band-aid' notes. Definitely one to try before you buy.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.
Occasions
Its clean, non-offensive sillage and fresh profile make it ideal for the office. While versatile, its unique green character might be less conventional for formal events, and its subtle nature doesn't scream 'date night' in the classic sense.
Seasons
A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.
Occasions
Its moderate projection and fresh yet interesting profile make it suitable for casual daytime wear, but the distinct leather might be too polarising for formal settings. Reviewers often mention wearing it during the day or on rainy spring days, fitting for offices where strong sillage isn't an issue.
Similarity Breakdown
Both share Ozonic, Aquatic, Green accords and Orris, Violet Leaf notes
