Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Shanghai Lily EDP
Tom Ford Shanghai Lily is a deeply polarising scent. While many hail it as a devastatingly beautiful masterpiece, others find it too bitter and overwhelming, smelling of dentist's offices or burnt incense. This isn't a safe blind buy, but for those who love bold, oriental florals, it's an enchanting and unforgettable experience.

Our Verdict - Casamorati 1888 EDP
A spot-on clone that punches well above its weight, delivering a refined, aristocratic vibe for those in the know. Forget the price tag, this smells proper high-end.
