London Funk
ScentArt
Which Should You Buy?
A crystalline, streamlined vetiver that feels invigorating and quietly confident. Airy woods and brisk ginger make this a modern, everyday classic for lovers of clean masculinity.
London Funk is a proper divisive ol' scent, love it or hate it. Some find it a fresh, green wonder, others are saying it smells like a sweaty British Christmas tree or a dodgy men's changing room. Definitely one to sample first - this ain't for blind buying, mate.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
Bracing vetiver, zesty ginger, and herbal clary sage combine for a scent that thrives in spring and fall, with enough freshness for summer. Its clean, airy woody character can feel a bit light for winter wear.
Occasions
Moderate projection and a crisp, unfussy profile make it ideal for work or daily wear. It's relaxed yet refined, but leans too casual for formal events.
Seasons
A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.
Occasions
Its potent initial projection and unique, sometimes challenging 'funk' make it less suitable for formal or office settings. However, its fresh, green character and good sillage lend it to being a conversational piece in casual and some date situations, especially in warmer weather.
