Which Should You Buy?
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.
Divisive. Some reckon it's a solid, unique daily driver with a distinctive tea note, while others dismiss it as forgettable and generic, with performance that's a bit of a joke. Try before you buy, obviously, but don't expect miracles.

Season and Occasion Fit
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.

Occasions
