Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Tobacco Mandarin
Prepare for a proper love-it-or-hate-it affair. Tobacco Mandarin isn't playing subtle, it's a bold, spicy, divisive beast with a penchant for staining clothes. You'll either adore its mysterious, opulent depth or recoil from its notorious cumin note - there's no middle ground here, mate.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Byredo Tobacco Mandarin
An intriguing balance of sweet mandarin and robust tobacco creates a wearable yet unique scent for those seeking sophistication without formality.
