Which Should You Buy?
A daring, earthy floral chypre that centers on patchouli and incense, White Patchouli is both vintage and modern. It's a statement scent for those who want to be noticed and appreciate a bold, autumnal signature.
No. 286 references Tom Ford's White Patchouli - bright white flowers and peony set against an earthy patchouli heart. The bones are recognisable, but Tom Ford's version is denser and holds its clean-yet-spicy tension for hours; No. 286 is airier from the start and the patchouli reads thinner, fading to a soft powdery finish sooner than the original.
