Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - London

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.

Our Verdict - Pierre de Velay No. 6

A truly unique scent, Pierre de Velay No. 6 is a 'love it or hate it' affair. Many find it incomparable, a masterful blend of the familiar and the exotic that smells 'natural' and 'perfect'. Others find it merely 'nice' or 'wearable' - but everyone agrees it's distinctive for those with a taste for something different.

Season and Occasion Fit

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.
