Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Black Intensitive Aoud EDP
This one's a divisive beast. Many find it an 'intensive' experience: a bold, unapologetic take on rose-oud that's both lauded for its power and loathed for its 'soapy' or 'hair spray' notes. Proceed with caution, and definitely sample first.

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.
