Which Should You Buy?
This one's a proper divisive boozy-vanilla-tobacco bomb. Gloriously opulent to some, a headache-inducing cough syrup to others. You simply must try before you buy, as the love-it-or-hate-it crowd is pretty evenly split.
California Blues follows Maison Margiela's Jazz Club into rum-and-tobacco territory with a similarly boozy opening, but the tobacco leaf here reads sweeter and less resinous than the original's cade-oil edge, and the vanilla-cedar base settles into a simpler, shorter-lived warmth than Jazz Club's smoky, long-wearing signature.
