Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - 03 Lonestar Memories EDP
Lonestar Memories is a bold, divisive beast that's definitely not for everyone. Expect a challenging opening that mellows into a captivating, rugged charm. If you can tame it, this Tauer masterpiece delivers a truly unique experience.
Acquired
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.
