This is the Tom Ford for people who want to be remembered, not just liked. The cumin opens sharp, almost confrontational, then smoke and oud take over. It lasts and it projects.London
Not mass-appealing or office-safe. Varanasi demands commitment from the wearer and tolerance from those nearby. The animalic and leather components sit close to the skin but never fully retreat.Varanasi
