Which Should You Buy?
A creamy iris wrapped in gourmand sesame and vanilla, The Omniscient Mr Thompson is refined yet comforting, powdery yet intriguing - a quietly commanding signature for those who value subtle decadence.
492 chases Le Labo's Santal 33 smoky-leather-sandalwood signature closely, but the ambroxan-driven creaminess and skin-hugging smokiness of the original are traded for a flatter, more generic woody-powdery accord that fades faster.
