Tabac Vert EDP
Despite sharing rose and tobacco, BDK's Tabac Rose and Rogue's Tabac Vert cater to different sensibilities. Tabac Rose emphasizes sweetness and a jammy rose, often downplaying the tobacco. Tabac Vert, in contrast, goes for a dry, green, and mossy tobacco, reminiscent of vintage fragrances. The former is more contemporary and palatable, while the latter leans classic and assertive. If you prefer modern sweetness, choose Tabac Rose. If you want a bold, old-school tobacco, Tabac Vert is the better pick. Both are controversial, so sample first!

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.
Divisive, old-school class in a bottle, Tabac Vert is a scent for the confident. Some find it a masterpiece of dry, green tobacco and oakmoss, others are put off by its 'old lady' or 'soapy' vibe. Definitely not for the modern gourmand crowd.
