Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Citrus Riviera EDP

This is a seriously polarising citrus blast - you'll either love its sharp, realistic lemon and greenery, or find it smells like toilet cleaner or an offensive celery stalk. Expect a bold, fresh, and distinctly masculine-leaning experience, but don't hold your breath for beastly longevity.

Statement

Our Verdict - Figue Érotique EDP

Tom Ford's latest fig offering is either a divisive, overpriced synth-bomb or a creamy, green masterpiece, depending on who you ask. Most agree it's not very "Erotique," though. Try before you buy, unless you enjoy gambling with £400.

Season and Occasion Fit

Citrus Riviera

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Summer

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

Occasions

Best For:

Casual Sport

Its fresh, clean, and energetic profile makes it perfect for casual and sport settings, though some find it a bit too assertive for close-quarters office wear. While projection is noted to be decent initially, many report relatively short longevity, limiting its formal and date night potential.

Figue Érotique

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Autumn

Also Works:

Summer Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:

Date Casual

Also Works:

Office

While some find it nuclear, others report poor longevity, but the general consensus points to a reasonably strong scent. Its unique green, sweet, and woody profile makes it interesting for dates and casual wear, but potentially too distinctive for formal settings or too heavy for the office.
