Smoking Hot Eau de Parfum vs 235 Tobacco Vanilla Eau de Parfum
ScentArt
Which Should You Buy?
Smoking Hot is a divisive beast: some hail it a masterpiece of fruity tobacco, while others find it a cloying, synthetic apple shisha. It's bold, alluring, and definitely not for shrinking violets.
No. 235 pulls straight from Tom Ford's Tobacco Vanille playbook - tobacco leaf, vanilla and cocoa in a gourmand-oriental frame - but the dried fruit and spice feel less layered and the whole thing thins out sooner than the rich, honeyed original.
