Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Japon Noir EDP
A legendary, if divisive, Tom Ford creation that’s gone down in the annals of fragrance history. Expect a dark, leathery, woody scent with immense power, but prepare for some serious hunting to get your hands on it. Those who love it, really love it; others find it a bit dated.

Our Verdict - Amaani EDP
This one's a proper divisive scent - you'll either swoon over its moody depths or recoil from a rather funky opening. Give it time to settle, and it promises a uniquely dark, woody, and herbal experience that's definitely not for the faint of heart.

Season and Occasion Fit

Japon Noir

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Spring

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Given its strong projection and dark, powerful character, Japon Noir isn't one for the office or a casual daytime affair. It's a statement scent, perfectly suited for evening dates and formal events where its commanding presence can truly shine.

Amaani

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Given its strong opening and dense, long-lasting nature, Amaani is far too demanding for the office or casual daytime wear. It truly shines for night-time events, where its mature and somewhat assertive character can complement a formal gathering or a more intimate date setting.
