Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Tabac Rose Eau de Parfum

BDK's Tabac Rose is a controversial one-off for many. While some find it to be a masterfully blended, sensual delight, an equally vocal contingent are disappointed by the missing tobacco and its overtly sweet, 'jammy rose' character. Try before you buy, as this juice isn't for everyone.

Our Verdict - Femme de Montblanc Eau de Parfum

Femme de Montblanc is a divisive beast. Some adore its chocolatey, spicy warmth, finding it elegant and unique. Others are left scratching their heads, baffled by its shifting character or disappointed by its performance. Definitely a 'try before you buy', this isn't for everyone.

Also Works:

Casual

Its warm spicy and gourmand accords, particularly in the EDP, make it suitable for dates and formal events, creating a sensual and memorable presence. While some find it office-appropriate for its 'serious' vibe, the potential for strong sillage (in EDP) and its distinctive character mean it's best applied lightly in professional settings. It's a bit too rich and complex for casual daytime wear or sport.
