Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Noir

Tom Ford Noir EDT is a divisive beast. Some adore its classic, sophisticated charm, comparing it to storied fragrances, while others dismiss it as generic or overly dated. If you're after a refined take on a vintage vibe, this might be for you, but be prepared for strong opinions from those around you.

Our Verdict - Cars

Don't let the name fool you, this is surprisingly versatile. It's an energetic citrus that's cheap and cheerful enough to be a blind-buy for a laugh, but genuinely pleasant for everyday wear.
