Which Should You Buy?
Our Verdict - A*Men Pure Havane EDT
A legendary designer tobacco-honey bomb, Mugler's Pure Havane is a smooth, sweet, and slightly smoky masterpiece that's a crime to have discontinued. It's often compared to Naxos, but don't get it twisted - this came first and, for many, it's still superior.

Our Verdict - Hafez's Cigar Original Creation EDP
Alexandria UK's own house creation, not a dupe of a single named scent - a sweet, smoky tobacco blend of honeyed leaf, amber and vanilla over oud and tonka. Louder and sweeter upfront than a niche tobacco reference, with a simpler dry-down but strong all-night performance.
