Which Should You Buy?
Akro Smoke is as divisive as it gets: some find it a photorealistic ash-tray or BBQ nightmare, others hail it as a sexy, authentic smoke and tobacco masterpiece. It doesn't play subtle; you'll either love its intense, challenging opening and sweet-tobacco drydown or run a mile.
Xerjoff's Don is a bold, divisive scent that swings from 'masterpiece' to 'utterly boring'. If you can get past the initial metallic blast, it's a deep, dark tobacco and whisky blend that's not for the faint of heart or those seeking mass appeal. It's an acquired taste, but worth exploring.

Occasions
Given its strong sillage and polarising, realistic smoke accord, this isn't one for the office or formal events. However, its distinctive and often complimented scent makes it a confident choice for dates and specific casual outings, particularly in cooler weather.

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
Don's heavy, smoky accords and perceived intimate projection make it less suitable for the office but highly recommended for dates and formal settings. Its unique, bold character is best showcased in evening wear or specific, confident statements.
