Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Plum Japonais EDP
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.

Our Verdict - Anniversary EDP
This is a bold, spicy beast that demands respect, not for the faint of heart. Best served in cold weather to truly appreciate its warm, complex character. Not a blind buy, but a must-try for lovers of deep, opulent spice and tobacco. It's a statement.
