Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Sensi Eau de Parfum

This discontinued gem has a fierce cult following, and for good reason. Sensi is a soft, comforting, yet utterly elegant almond-floral blend that feels like a warm hug. It's a genuine masterpiece, hence the ongoing clamour for its return. Don't bother with expensive vintage bottles, though; they've likely turned.

Our Verdict - Champaca Absolute Eau de Parfum

Tom Ford's Champaca Absolute is a divisive, discontinued masterpiece. Lovers adore its unique, intoxicating yellow floral aroma, while detractors find it sickly sweet, powdery, or even unpleasant. Prepare for a bold statement - this isn't for the faint of heart, but those who 'get' it are utterly enchanted.

Best For:

Formal

Its moderate projection and smooth, warm accords make Sensi perfect for daily wear, whether at the office or on casual outings. It's sophisticated enough for a date but perhaps a touch too understated for a grand formal event, and definitely not for sport.

Its potent projection and syrupy floral character mean it's too 'loud' for most office settings, as many reviewers attest. However, its bold, sensual nature makes it a fantastic choice for dates and special occasions. Casual wear is appropriate for those who love to make a statement, especially in cooler weather.
