Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Venetian Bergamot Eau de Parfum
Tom Ford Venetian Bergamot is a creamy floral delight with a fleeting citrus opening, much to the chagrin of those expecting a true bergamot bomb. It's a divisive scent, especially for those expecting a strictly 'unisex' experience, as many find it leans distinctly feminine.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Black Eau de Parfum
A modern classic in the making. Armaf Black delivers a fresh and spicy scent with a sophisticated rose-tobacco twist, punching far above its weight class. It's a genuine crowd-pleaser with impressive performance, though some find it a touch synthetic.
