Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Shanghai Lily EDP
Tom Ford Shanghai Lily is a deeply polarising scent. While many hail it as a devastatingly beautiful masterpiece, others find it too bitter and overwhelming, smelling of dentist's offices or burnt incense. This isn't a safe blind buy, but for those who love bold, oriental florals, it's an enchanting and unforgettable experience.
