Comparisons with Tom Ford for men are entirely justified the mandarin opening and earthy tobacco heart are very similar. However, being a huge fan and avid wearer of TF I can spot the differences just as evidently, Yuzu nutmeg and a fig like fresher opening with a creamier nature coming from sandalwood being the major ones. So all this makes it less woody than the Tom Ford in essence and an enjoyable mens fragrance. I really love it and wish I'd have picked it up when I saw it cheap last year but didn't want to blind buy in case it wasn't good. Just to speak to the 'wedding scent' thing of course Vera Wang is going to tread that line due to her association with wedding dresses. Quite an understated and classy thing to wear for a wedding in my opinion.
