Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - White Suede EDP

Tom Ford's White Suede is a truly divisive scent- love it or hate it, this 'your skin but better' fragrance is either a comforting, clean luxury or a sharp, synthetic nightmare. It's a classy, subtle statement for some, an ashtray for others.

Favourite

Our Verdict - Ébène EDP

A legendary green-aromatic masterpiece, Ébène is a time capsule of 80s masculinity that's sadly a unicorn today. If you can get your hands on it, you'll understand why collectors sing its praises.

Season and Occasion Fit

White Suede

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Autumn

Also Works:

Summer Winter

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions

Best For:

Office Date Casual

Also Works:

Formal

Its soft sillage and 'clean skin' vibe make it ideal for office and casual wear where subtlety is appreciated. While elegant enough for dates and some formal occasions, its intimate nature means it won't dominate a room. It's not suited for sport due to its creamy, powdery character.

Ébène

Seasons

Best For:

Winter

Also Works:

Spring Summer Autumn

A winter perfume through and through - made for cold, dark months.

Occasions

Best For:

Date Formal

Given its strong sillage and long-lasting nature, Ébène might be too assertive for an enclosed office space. However, its sophisticated and mysterious character makes it ideal for dates and formal events where you want to make a statement.
