Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Shanghai Lily Eau de Parfum

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 - Ashore Eau de Parfum

Ashore is a divisive one. Fans say it's the best jasmine ever - natural, warm, and sophisticated. Detractors find it too soapy, sharp, or just a generic white floral. You'll either adore its creamy calm or dismiss it as another old-fashioned jasmine.

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Summer

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.

Occasions

Best For:

Date Casual

Also Works:

Office Formal

Its prominent, clean jasmine and warm, salty character make it perfect for casual, warm-weather wear, and dates. While elegant, its strong floral and potential 'old-fashioned' vibe for some means it might not suit every formal or office setting.
