Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Ombre Leather 16 EDP
Tom Ford Ombre Leather 16 is a cult favourite, praised for its refined leather profile that’s smoother and greener than its bolder cousin, Tuscan Leather. It's truly a timeless leather fragrance.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Leather Late Than Never EDP
Leather Late Than Never gets the cardamom-and-suede opening of Ombre Leather close enough to recognise, but the jasmine sambac heart and tobacco base come through thinner, so the original's polished, long-wearing leather depth is not fully there.
