Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Arabian Wood EDP
Don't let the name fool you - this isn't your typical Arabian wood scent. Expect a complex, shape-shifting floral chypre with a distinctly soapy, green edge. It's divisive, often compared to vintage classics and definitely not for those expecting an oud bomb.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Arabian Nights EDP
Despite the name, Arabian Nights follows Tom Ford Arabian Wood's actual chypre-fougere direction (rose, orris, galbanum, oakmoss-adjacent woods) rather than an oud-forward scent - true to a genuinely misleadingly-named original.
