Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Classique EDP
A divisive yet undeniably iconic fragrance, Classique EDP is a love-it-or-hate-it affair. Expect potent sensuality that some find alluring and others can't stomach. It's not for the faint of heart, but if you dare, it's a true statement.
Acquired
Our Verdict - 387 Tom Ford Velvet Orchid EDP
387 recreates Velvet Orchid's honeyed rum-and-orchid richness, though the suede-myrrh base is noticeably lighter than Tom Ford's opulent original.
