Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Grey Vetiver
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.
Favourite
Our Verdict - UDV
This 90s powerhouse is a love-it-or-hate-it affair. For some, it's a cheap, synthetic mess. But for others, it's a bold, masculine masterpiece that punches way above its weight.
