Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Plum Japonais EDP
Tom Ford Plum Japonais is a legendary, much-missed masterpiece. This opulent, boozy plum and spiced oud scent was tragically discontinued, sparking fervent demand and cries for its return.

Our Verdict - Rose Oud EDP
Kilian's Rose Oud is a divisive take on the classic rose-oud combo. Some swoon over its jammy rose and light oud, while others find it too sweet, synthetic, or just plain boring. Performance is solid, but whether it's worth the niche price tag is a question it struggles to answer.

With its moderate projection and long-lasting scent, Rose Oud is well-suited for evenings and special occasions where you want to make an impression without overpowering.
