Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Tobacco Absolute EDP
A refined and contemporary tobacco scent with a spicy edge and powdery iris softness, Tobacco Absolute delivers warmth and poise without overwhelming the senses. Understated yet memorable.
Statement
Our Verdict - No 03 Tobacco Absolute Extrait
A close-enough approximation of Molton Brown's Tobacco Absolute: the peppery-elemi opening and tobacco-leaf heart both land, though the tonka-cedar base wears thinner and disappears sooner than the original's richer, more resinous drydown.
