Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Plum Japonais EDP
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.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Fruit Nippon EDP
Perfume Parlour's affordable interpretation of Tom Ford - Plum Japonais - a warm spicy fragrance led by Cinnamon, Saffron, with amber depth. As a budget interpretation it sits lighter and more linear than the designer, but the core signature is there.
