Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Grey Vetiver EDP
Tom Ford Grey Vetiver is a timeless, mature classic, divisive only by its dedicated focus on a clean vetiver. It's often praised as the ultimate office scent, though some find its linearity uninspiring or its performance too subtle to justify the price.
