Which Should You Buy?
A divisive citrus-leather that promises the Sicilian sun but delivers a distinctly varied experience. Some find it a high-quality, versatile leather; others find it a fleeting, overpriced citrus bomb with no real leather note to speak of. Try it before you buy it.
208 TF follows Tom Ford for Men's tobacco-leather-patchouli signature closely enough to recognise, but the dupe's base is much lighter and shorter-lived than the original's rich, resinous finish.
