Which Should You Buy?
Tom Ford's Tobacco Oud is a divisive, discontinued beast. It's a love-it-or-hate-it scent for those who want to smell like pure authority, not a basic crowd-pleaser.
Diptyque's Eau Lente is a divisive, nostalgic trip to the spice cabinet that some adore for its unique warmth and depth, while others find it too vintage, cloying, or just plain weird. It's a statement scent, not a crowd-pleaser.
