Our Verdict - Tom Ford for Men Extreme EDT
Tom Ford for Men Extreme is a polarising beast: for some, it's a discontinued masterpiece of masculine seduction, for others, an overpriced, underperforming let-down. If you like your rich, dark scents, this might just be your holy grail, if you can find it. But be warned, some find it a bit strong.
