Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Champaca Absolute EDP
Tom Ford's Champaca Absolute is a divisive, discontinued masterpiece. Lovers adore its unique, intoxicating yellow floral aroma, while detractors find it sickly sweet, powdery, or even unpleasant. Prepare for a bold statement - this isn't for the faint of heart, but those who 'get' it are utterly enchanted.
Statement
Our Verdict - Tom Ford Champaca Absolute Oil
An exotic and luxurious floral fragrance featuring rich champaca and warm vanilla.
