Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Bitter Peach EDP
A hedonistic, boozy fruit bomb that is plush, decadent, and just a touch wicked. Bitter Peach is not for the shy-it seduces and lingers, leaving a trail that is both addictive and unmistakably Tom Ford.
Statement
Our Verdict - Sour Prunus EDP
Sour Prunus chases Tom Ford's Bitter Peach - that juicy, syrupy peach over boozy davana and a spiced-vanilla cognac base. The plush fruity-gourmand mood lands, but it reads sweeter and more candied, missing the original's faintly bitter, boozy nuance and creamy depth.

Season and Occasion Fit

Bitter Peach

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Spring

Bitter Peach's lush, syrupy fruit and boozy warmth shine in cool weather, making it ideal for fall and winter. The richness and depth are somewhat heavy for summer, but the peach keeps it lively enough for spring.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

The bold sillage and decadent fruit make Bitter Peach best for dates and nights out, where its sensuality can shine. It may overwhelm in close office settings or sporty environments but works for upscale events.

Sour Prunus

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Spring

A juicy peach-and-vanilla gourmand suits autumn and cooler spring best, a touch sweet for high summer heat.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual

The flirtatious, sweet-fruity character is made for dates, evenings and casual wear rather than the office or formal events.
