Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - 1888 EDP
This one's a proper spicy amber floral that splits the room; some swear by its classic elegance, others find it too 'old-school' or 'medicinal'. Definitely not for everyone, so sample first.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Noir Extreme EDP
Copycat's Noir Extreme reproduces Tom Ford's warm cardamom-amber-vanilla shape but pushes the vanilla louder and flattens the kulfi-rose facet that gives the original its distinctive milky-spiced sweetness, landing as a more generic amber gourmand.
