Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Resala EDP
Resala is a love-it-or-hate-it beast of a fragrance. If you want to make an entrance and be remembered, this dramatic gourmand rose oud with nuclear performance is ready for its moment.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Noir de Noir EDP
Noir de Noir dupes Tom Ford's dark rose-chocolate signature - the saffron-rose opening captures the original's brooding drama, but the dupe's chocolate-oud base fades to a light skin scent far sooner than the deep, resinous original.

Season and Occasion Fit

Resala

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

With its nuclear projection and longevity, Resala is too potent for most office environments, risking irritation. It shines brightest on dates and formal occasions where its luxurious, dramatic character can be appreciated. Casual wear is generally too much, and it's certainly not fit for sport.

Noir de Noir

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

A dark, heavy rose-chocolate oriental suited to cold weather and evening occasions, far too rich for summer.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Dramatic and luxurious - built for evenings, dates and formal occasions rather than everyday wear.
