Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Noir

Tom Ford Noir EDT is a divisive beast. Some adore its classic, sophisticated charm, comparing it to storied fragrances, while others dismiss it as generic or overly dated. If you're after a refined take on a vintage vibe, this might be for you, but be prepared for strong opinions from those around you.

Our Verdict - Hawas Kobra

Hawas Kobra is a divisive, beast-mode freshie that splits opinion right down the middle. For some, it's a stellar, long-lasting interpretation of a luxury DNA; for others, it's a harsh, synthetic scrubber reminiscent of cleaning products or cheap soap. Definitely not a safe blind buy.

Its beast-mode projection makes it a bit too loud for the office or formal events, but it excels in casual settings and for sports due to its fresh, clean, and energising profile. Reviewers noted its strength could fill a room, making it ideal for situations where you want to be noticed.
