Which Should You Buy?
Tom Ford Plum Japonais is a legendary, much-missed masterpiece. This opulent, boozy plum and spiced oud scent was tragically discontinued, sparking fervent demand and cries for its return.
A louder, sweeter take on Tom Ford's Plum Japonais. The plum-cinnamon opening hits harder and faster here, but the oud reads thinner and more synthetic, and the whole composition flattens into a simpler amber-vanilla base far sooner than the original's layered, slow-burning richness.
