Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Back to Black EDP
Divisive, complex, and utterly intriguing, Back to Black is either a masterpiece of dark honeyed tobacco or a baby wipes and urinal cake nightmare. It's truly a love-it-or-hate-it scent that commands attention, for better or worse.

Our Verdict - Tobacolor EDP
This is a love-it-or-hate-it tobacco scent, no two ways about it. If you're into syrupy, fruity honey and rich pipe tobacco, this will be your new obsession. But if you're not, prepare for an overwhelming, almost cloying experience.

Season and Occasion Fit

Back to Black

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Its potent projection and rich, complex notes make it unsuitable for an office setting, but ideal for intimate date nights and formal events where its luxurious character can shine. It's often described as a 'night fragrance' or for colder weather, further limiting casual wear.

Tobacolor

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its beastly performance and rich, sweet, smoky profile make it too much for the office. Tobacolor truly shines on dates or formal occasions in cooler weather, with many finding it intoxicating and alluring, though some prefer it for casual, cosy nights.
