Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Shanghai Lily

Tom Ford Shanghai Lily is a deeply polarising scent. While many hail it as a devastatingly beautiful masterpiece, others find it too bitter and overwhelming, smelling of dentist's offices or burnt incense. This isn't a safe blind buy, but for those who love bold, oriental florals, it's an enchanting and unforgettable experience.

Our Verdict - Mukhallath Shuyookhi

This one's a proper Arabian warm spicy-woody beast with a surprisingly soft, floral heart. Not for the timid, but if you like a bold, enveloping scent, it's a deep cut worth seeking out.
