Which Should You Buy?
One of the most beloved designer tobacco scents, London for Men envelops you in spicy warmth and refined nostalgia. It is a comforting, gentlemanly staple for cold weather and evening wear.
A budget take on Montale Arabians Tonka. The sharp saffron-and-rose opening over sweet tonka, amber and oud captures the original's rich, sweet-oriental powerhouse; the dupe runs a touch flatter and less nuanced, and while it projects well it gives up some of Montale's famously beastly longevity.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
Rich tobacco, cinnamon, and leather give this a warm, enveloping character that excels in fall and winter. The moderate sweetness and woody depth make it less fitting for hot weather but wearable in early spring.
Occasions
Its spicy-tobacco warmth and moderate boldness suit dates and formal events, while the richness can be a bit much for office or sporty settings. Works for casual evenings, less so for daytime business.
Seasons
The sweet saffron-tonka-oud richness is a cold-weather powerhouse, glorious in autumn and winter and far too heavy and sweet for summer heat.
Occasions
A bold, sweet-oriental statement scent built for evenings and dates; its sweetness and projection make it a lot for the office or sport.
