Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Absolu EDP
A divisive oriental, Absolu is either a gorgeous resinous dream that's perfect for cosy nights in, or an unbalanced mess that's too sweet, scratchy, and reminiscent of cheap men's cologne. There's no middle ground here, so sample first.
Favourite
Our Verdict - 354 Tom Ford Noir Pour Femme EDP
354 channels Noir Pour Femme's spiced orange-and-rose sensuality, but the amber-mastic base is noticeably lighter than Tom Ford's opulent original.
