Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Mandarino di Amalfi Acqua EDP
A stunning citrus that everyone loves, but almost everyone complains about the fleeting performance. If you're willing to reapply, it's a holiday in a bottle. Tom Ford really dropped the ball by discontinuing this gem.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Semi-Bespoke No. 3 EDP
This is a grown-up fragrance, a sophisticated and complex blend for those who appreciate classic perfumery with a spicy, animalic twist. Very divisive, some see a bold, masculine masterpiece, others find it too "dated" or even "stuffy." Not a blind buy by any stretch.
