Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Metallique EDP
Tom Ford Metallique is properly divisive- you'll either get an 'icy' metallic vanilla or a 'rusty' nauseating mess. If your skin plays nice, it's a unique and sophisticated vanilla, clean but never boring. A true love-it-or-hate-it scent.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Shalimar Millésime Tonka EDP
A modern, sophisticated Shalimar flanker, Tonka proves to be a crowd-pleaser, delivering a smooth, slightly boozy take on the classic. Guerlain's decision to make this a limited edition has only fuelled its legendary status and desirability. Expect to pay a pretty penny on the secondary market.

Season and Occasion Fit

Metallique

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Summer

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office Formal

Its moderate projection makes it suitable for office wear, while its unique, sophisticated vanilla makes it excellent for dates or casual outings. It's too distinctive for formal events and totally wrong for sport.

Shalimar Millésime Tonka

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its rich, deep, and long-lasting nature makes it excellent for dates or formal events where you want to make an impression. While it's sophisticated enough for some office environments, its strong projection means it's best applied lightly to avoid overwhelming colleagues. It's generally too heavy for casual daytime wear.
