Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Tom Ford for Men EDT
Tom Ford for Men: a refined, versatile scent with a cult following. Though often dismissed for its subtle performance, its sophisticated blend of citrus, ginger, and tobacco earns it a passionate defence from those who get it. Not a beast, but a classic in its own right, for the discerning gentleman.
Favourite
Our Verdict - 208 Tom Ford For Men EDP
208 TF follows Tom Ford for Men's tobacco-leather-patchouli signature closely enough to recognise, but the dupe's base is much lighter and shorter-lived than the original's rich, resinous finish.
