Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Les Exceptions Ambre Redoutable EDP
A sumptuous, unapologetically rich amber that radiates dark resinous warmth and creamy vanilla - not for the faint of heart, but magnetic in cold weather or after dark.
Acquired
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.
