Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - London EDP
This one's a stunner, blurring the lines between fruity gourmand and sophisticated leather. It's divisive only among leather purists, otherwise, London is a crowd-pleasing, luxurious scent that will get you noticed.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Thames EDP
Perfume Parlour's affordable interpretation of Widian London - a powdery fragrance led by Cypress, Violet, Oud, with oud depth. It captures the gist of the original at a fraction of the cost, rendering a touch simpler and quieter.

Season and Occasion Fit

London

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Spring

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its strong projection and impressive longevity make it less suitable for quiet office environments. However, its rich fruity-leather profile is perfect for dates and evening events, offering a luxurious and memorable presence.

Thames

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

Best in spring and summer - the powdery, oud profile suits those conditions, while extremes of heat or cold flatten the dupe's lighter composition.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office Sport

Keep it for casual and daily - the powdery accord gives presence while the gentle projection keeps it crowd-friendly.
