Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - White Suede EDP
Tom Ford's White Suede is a truly divisive scent- love it or hate it, this 'your skin but better' fragrance is either a comforting, clean luxury or a sharp, synthetic nightmare. It's a classy, subtle statement for some, an ashtray for others.

Our Verdict - White Suede - 960 EDP
No. 960 borrows Tom Ford White Suede's supple suede-and-musk skeleton, with Bulgarian rose and saffron over an amber-sandalwood base. Tom Ford's version is famously close to the skin already, so the gap is smaller than usual here - but No. 960 still trades away some of the original's velvety texture, landing flatter and quieter within the first hour or two.

Season and Occasion Fit

White Suede

Best For:
Office Date Casual
Also Works:
Formal

Its soft sillage and 'clean skin' vibe make it ideal for office and casual wear where subtlety is appreciated. While elegant enough for dates and some formal occasions, its intimate nature means it won't dominate a room. It's not suited for sport due to its creamy, powdery character.
