Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Encounter EDT
This one is a real head-scratcher. It's a gorgeous spicy boozy gem a lot of us love, but its abysmal performance is seriously frustrating. You'll need to overspray like crazy or accept it as a strictly intimate scent. Don't fall for the marketing hype, though; it won't get you laid.
Statement
Our Verdict - Woody Tobacco EDP
A divisive blend that some adore for its boozy, woody depth and others find a bit too brash. If you like your tobacco with a hefty slug of rum and a fruity twist, this one's a keeper, otherwise, approach with caution.

Season and Occasion Fit

Encounter

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn
Also Works:
Spring Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Occasions

Best For:
Date
Also Works:
Casual

Its soft projection and intimate nature make it suitable for close encounters like dates or casual evenings. Its boozy, warm spicy nature and poor longevity mean it's not ideal for the office or formal events, and it's definitely not a sport scent.

Woody Tobacco

Seasons

Best For:
Winter

A winter perfume through and through - made for cold, dark months.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Formal

The strong, boozy tobacco notes make it a bit much for the office. It's perfect for dates and evening casual wear due to its sensual warmth, but might be too bold for formal events where subtlety is preferred.
