Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Pistachio Cousin EDP
A truly divisive scent that promises pistachio but delivers a cereal-like punch. It's a love-it-or-hate-it affair, with many lamenting the quick fade of its signature note. If you're after a niche, slightly quirky citrus-woody, this might be your jam - or your fruit loops.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Bois Rouge EDP
A legendary, impossible-to-find Tom Ford gem that commands obsession and reverence. If you're lucky enough to track down this discontinued masterpiece, prepare for a provocative yet harmonious woody leather experience that transcends time.
