Which Should You Buy?
This one's a true enigma - some rave about its elegant sweetness, while others detect only harsh rubber. Definitely not a blind buy, but if you love a powdery, dry oud with a fruity twist, 33 White is an absolute understated gem that punches well above its price tag.
TF121 gets the tart sour cherry and smoke contrast that defines Tom Ford's Cherry Smoke right in the opening, but the leather-woody base thins out much faster, losing the original's smouldering, expensive-feeling drydown.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Occasions
Its exceptional longevity and strong projection make it unsuitable for office wear, as it could be overwhelming. The sophisticated oud and berry combination, often described as elegant and compliment-getting, is perfect for dates and evening formal events. It's a bit too heavy for casual daytime wear.
Seasons
A smoky, fruity-woody blend best suited to cooler months and evening wear.
Occasions
The smoky, seductive character suits dates and evening formal wear more than daytime office use.
