Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Made to Measure EDP

This one's a proper head-scratcher. Reviews are all over the shop; some absolutely love its subtle charm, others reckon it's a weak, forgettable mess. Expect either a pleasant surprise or utter disappointment.

Statement

Our Verdict - London EDP

If you're seeking a sophisticated amber with serious gravitas, London delivers. It's a supremely blended, luxurious scent, though some find it a bit too subtle for the price tag. Expect quiet quality, not a shouty declaration.

Season and Occasion Fit

Made to Measure

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Summer Autumn

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.

Occasions

Best For:

Office Casual

Also Works:

Date

Its generally weak projection and inoffensive nature make it perfect for the office or casual day wear where subtlety is key. Some find it suitable for dates due to its gentle aura, but its lack of strong sillage limits its impact in formal settings or during sport.

London

Seasons

Best For:

Winter

Also Works:

Autumn

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.

Occasions

Best For:

Date Formal

This fragrance's warm, spicy, and amber characteristics lend themselves perfectly to evening and cooler weather events. It's too refined and deep for casual wear or sport, and its powerful presence might be a bit much for a typical office setting, though its smoothness keeps it from being overwhelming.
