Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Grey Vetiver
Tom Ford Grey Vetiver EDT is a fresh, clean take on vetiver that's tragically discontinued. Fans laud its easy-wearing elegance for warm weather, making it a firm office favourite, but some find it too subtle or even a bit bland. It's a love-it-or-hate-it for some, with a clear split between those who find it a masterpiece and those who find it lacks punch.

Our Verdict - Race The Competition
This one's a proper aromatic bomb, fresh from the off but with enough earthy depth to keep it interesting. A solid contender for a daily go-to, it’s got that crowd-pleasing vibe without being boring.
