Plum Japonais is a highly praised and sought-after Tom Ford fragrance with a distinctive sweet, spicy, oudy profile that generates passionate devotion among fans. However, its discontinuation has made it rare and expensive, and it remains a polarizing scent that doesn't appeal to everyone - blind buying is discouraged unless purchased at reasonable prices or as a collector's investment. The fragrance is best suited for winter wear and those who appreciate unconventional, woody oriental fragrances.

The r/fragrance community views Back to Black as a well-executed honey fragrance that successfully balances richness with wearability. While praised for its gorgeous honey note and lighter wear compared to alternatives like Guerlain Tobacco Honey, some users find the opening polarizing or need time to form an opinion on it.
