Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Japon Noir

A legendary, if divisive, Tom Ford creation that’s gone down in the annals of fragrance history. Expect a dark, leathery, woody scent with immense power, but prepare for some serious hunting to get your hands on it. Those who love it, really love it; others find it a bit dated.

Our Verdict - Aoud Prestigium

If you're after a bold, statement-making oud that doesn't mess about, get involved. This one demands attention and projects confidence, perfect for those who want to leave a lasting impression.

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

Occasions

Best For:

Date Formal

Given its strong projection and dark, powerful character, Japon Noir isn't one for the office or a casual daytime affair. It's a statement scent, perfectly suited for evening dates and formal events where its commanding presence can truly shine.

Also Works:

Spring Summer Autumn Winter

Occasions

Best For:

Date Formal

Given its strong amber, oud, and leather accords, this scent is far too potent and attention-grabbing for a typical office environment. It shines brightest on dates or formal events where its commanding presence can be appreciated without overwhelming others.
