Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Bihaku EDP
A divisive scent that aims for originality but lands in 'love it or hate it' territory. It's bold, coniferous, and definitely not a blind buy unless you like a particular synthetic amberwood note people mention.
Statement
Our Verdict - Fougère Platine EDP
Tom Ford's Fougère Platine is a polarising, discontinued gem. Lovers laud its unique, modern twist on the classic fougère, praising its metallic sheen and nuanced blend. Haters find it too bitter, metallic, or simply 'paint-like.' Whatever you think, it's definitely not boring.
