Which Should You Buy?
Tom Ford Plum Japonais is a legendary, much-missed masterpiece. This opulent, boozy plum and spiced oud scent was tragically discontinued, sparking fervent demand and cries for its return.
This oud-rose is a deeply polarising one. Some call it an affordable niche-quality gem, while others are put off by its challenging scent profile of barnyard oud. Definitely not a blind buy, but if you're into an animalic, dark rose, this might surprise you.
