Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Smoke Eau de Parfum
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.

Our Verdict - Don Eau de Parfum
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.

Season and Occasion Fit

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Occasions

Best For:
Date
Also Works:
Casual

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.

Don Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Spring

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Occasions

Best For:
