Which Should You Buy?
This one's a bold-as-brass, dark rose and plum affair. It's got serious staying power and a seductive aura, but some folks find it a bit too much, almost 'bugspray-ish' in the opening. It's a love-it-or-hate-it kind of intense, so don't blind buy.
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.

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.
