Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - This is Him EDT
This Is Him is a genuinely divisive scent, sparking strong opinions with its bold take on incense and vanilla. It's either a masterful blend of edgy sophistication or a cloying, unwearable mess. Love it or hate it, you definitely won't be bored.
Statement
Our Verdict - Oud Wood - No.17 EDP
Match Perfumes No.17 dupes Tom Ford's Oud Wood, a warm spiced-woody scent. The rosewood-cardamom opening tracks closely, but the oud-sandalwood heart is less creamy and the vanilla-amber base wears thinner and shorter than the smooth, long-lasting original.
