Which Should You Buy?
Tom Ford's Tuscan Leather Intense is incredibly divisive, with some hailing it as a superior, more complex version of the original, while others find it a 'mess of notes' and 'repulsive'. It's certainly not a crowd-pleaser for everyone, but if you're into intense leathery animalics, it might just be your holy grail.
Italian Rawhide II chases Tom Ford Tuscan Leather Intense's dark, visceral signature: the jammy raspberry-and-saffron opening over smoky incense and rich, raw leather all read recognisably. The dupe simplifies the original's plush, deep texture and clips its big sillage, wearing flatter and skin-close, but as a budget leather it captures the bold, sensual character for a fraction of the price.
