Which Should You Buy?
Tom Ford Ombre Leather 16 is a cult favourite, praised for its refined leather profile that’s smoother and greener than its bolder cousin, Tuscan Leather. It's truly a timeless leather fragrance.
Copycat's Ombre Leather captures Tom Ford's suede-and-jasmine signature reasonably well, but the leather accord comes through smoother and less smoky than the original's distinctive tobacco-tinged hide, softening the composition's edge.
