Pros & Cons
- ✅ This has to be one of the best fragrances ever created and of course it had to be a special edition so good luck finding it. Starts off with a smooth pineapple top note but what really shines is the leather in this. I like it even more than the leather found in TF Ombre Leather. London Special Edition is very long lasting and very complex. The note breakdown doesn't give it justice. Blended to perfection.
- ✅ This is my number one complemented fragrance. I even bought a spare bottle It would be perfect if the longevity is longer
- ✅ I finally found a fragrance that set itself apart. This is unbelievably refreshing and I love it so much. This is milder and a lot better than the classic version.
- ❌ 2009 edition stands to be almost a ditto of 2008. About 90% similar, while the 2008 is more spicy sour woody, the latter is slightly sweeter warmer and more amber drydown with a bit of powdery touch and considerably shorter lasting power. ... I would give it 5 of 10, just because of the longevity issue, otherwise the smell itself would reach up to a considerably higher score. :-(
- ❌ I find this sharper (damn pineapple) and more spicy than the previous edition. ... I don't mind this version tho, but it's just a big too strong overall; making it seem mature. Great for cold season wear.
- ❌ This reminds me a bit of Aventus, with more wood and no smokiness. Overall, it's not 'bad' in any way, but I tend to find these simpler scents to be less appealing, unless the few notes that are obvious are ones I really enjoy.
