Which Should You Buy?
This one is a divisive but ultimately beloved growler. Some find it a bit much, but those who 'get' it rave about its rich complexity. Don't be fooled by the name; this is not a sweet vanilla, it's a deep, dark, tobacco-laced boozy affair that oozes quality.
Hafez 1984 is an Alexandria Fragrances signature original, not a designer dupe, pairing a tobacco-rum opening with a leather-patchouli heart and a vanilla-amber base for a classic tobacco-vanilla oriental.

Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Occasions
Given its strong projection and rich, boozy-tobacco profile, this scent is a standout for dates and formal evening events, where it truly shines. It's too assertive for an office and completely out of place for sport, though some might pull it off casually on a cold day.
