Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Tobacco Oud Intense EDP
Tom Ford's Tobacco Oud Intense was a divisive but adored beast, now a coveted ghost of a fragrance. If you're lucky enough to own this rich, animalic amber, you've got a masterpiece on your hands, provided you can handle its raw power.

Our Verdict - Secret Encounter Extrait
This isn't for the faint of heart - it's a bold, enigmatic leather scent that's likely to divide opinion. It's sophisticated and commands attention, but definitely not a blind buy.

Autumn Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.

Occasions
