Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Rive d’Ambre
A truly gorgeous Tom Ford Private Blend that is unfortunately plagued by woeful longevity, leaving fans clamouring for a re-release with improved performance. The scent itself is a masterclass in citrus, a bright, effervescent dream.

Our Verdict - Saheb Intense
This is a seriously decent dupe for a luxury classic, delivering a fresh, clean scent for an absolute steal. It's a crowd-pleaser that punches well above its weight in the value stakes, though some find the synthetic edge and occasional longevity issues a bit of a let-down.
