Which Should You Buy?
Tom Ford Oud Fleur: a divisive journey into dark, dirty rose and animalic oud. Some declare it a masterpiece, a hauntingly beautiful blend. Others find it harsh and underwhelming, questioning its oud credentials entirely. For a scent now discontinued, it certainly leaves a memorable impression, for better or worse.
Don't let the name fool you, Oud Nuclear is far from an atomic beast. It's a surprisingly smooth, sophisticated oud-leather with a floral heart that's surprisingly wearable and gets a lot of love, though some find it a bit harsh.
