Which Should You Buy?
Tom Ford Plum Japonais is a legendary, much-missed masterpiece. This opulent, boozy plum and spiced oud scent was tragically discontinued, sparking fervent demand and cries for its return.
This loud, spiced-plum powerhouse is a divisive one. Fans love the intoxicating, beast-mode performance; detractors find it overpowering, lacking the original's subtlety. You'll either adore its bold confidence or find it far too much.
