Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - This is Him EDT
This Is Him is a genuinely divisive scent, sparking strong opinions with its bold take on incense and vanilla. It's either a masterful blend of edgy sophistication or a cloying, unwearable mess. Love it or hate it, you definitely won't be bored.
Statement
Our Verdict - Oud 23 EDP
Oud 23 keeps the creamy, refined oud character that separates Tom Ford Oud Wood from harsher, smokier ouds, though it settles to skin faster than even the original's already-modest EDP longevity.

Season and Occasion Fit

This is Him

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Spring

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Formal

Its bold and projecting nature, combined with smoky and vanilla accords, makes it less suited for a conservative office environment. However, many reviews highlight its 'sexy' and 'mysterious' qualities for dates, and its versatile cool-weather appeal for casual or even semi-formal nights out, despite some performance complaints.

Oud 23

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

Creamy woody-oud composition with a warm vanilla base suits cooler months best.

Occasions

Also Works:
Office Date Formal

Refined and moderate enough for office wear, with enough polish for dates and formal settings.
