Japon Noir EDP

Which Should You Buy?
A well-made, understated leather for those who want quality without shouting about it. If you're after a loud statement, look elsewhere, as this often gets described as lacking a strong personality despite its solid blending.
A legendary, if divisive, Tom Ford creation that’s gone down in the annals of fragrance history. Expect a dark, leathery, woody scent with immense power, but prepare for some serious hunting to get your hands on it. Those who love it, really love it; others find it a bit dated.
