Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Taormina Orange Eau de Parfum

Tom Ford's Taormina Orange is a divisive return to form for the brand's freshies. You'll either love its naturalistic citrus and white floral blend, or find it a painfully generic, fleeting disappointment. Buyer beware, the performance is a sticking point.

Our Verdict - Empower You Eau de Parfum

This one's a bright, citrusy splash that promises to 'Empower You,' though the reality is a touch more modest. It's a pleasant, inoffensive scent that's easy to wear, but don't expect it to set the world alight.

A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.

Best For:

Casual Sport

Also Works:

Office Date

Its fresh, citrus-forward profile with decent but not overwhelming projection makes it ideal for casual wear and sports, as many reviewers highlight its 'summer in a bottle' feel. However, the varying performance reports mean it's less reliable for formal events where longevity is key and more appropriate for a relaxed office setting than a power meeting.

Office Casual Sport

Also Works:

Date

Its moderate longevity and projection, coupled with a fresh and inoffensive citrus-floral profile, make it highly suitable for office and casual wear. The brightness of the citrus also makes it a good fit for everyday activities and even light sport, though its lack of bold projection makes it less ideal for formal settings or a standout date night.
