Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Grey Vetiver EDT
Tom Ford Grey Vetiver EDT is a fresh, clean take on vetiver that's tragically discontinued. Fans laud its easy-wearing elegance for warm weather, making it a firm office favourite, but some find it too subtle or even a bit bland. It's a love-it-or-hate-it for some, with a clear split between those who find it a masterpiece and those who find it lacks punch.

Our Verdict - Fanfare EDC
This isn't just a classic cologne reboot; it's a vibrant, boozy citrus journey with a floral heart that divides opinion. Some find its floral sweetness a bit much, others hail it as pure, long-lasting joy. It's bold, distinctive, and definitely not a safe blind buy.
