Which Should You Buy?

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.

Statement

Our Verdict - Nicotiana EDP

Perfume Parlour's affordable interpretation of Dior Tobacolor - a warm spicy fragrance led by Tobacco, Honey, with fruity depth. It captures the gist of the original at a fraction of the cost, rendering a touch simpler and quieter.

Season and Occasion Fit

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.

Nicotiana

Seasons

Best For:

Autumn Winter

Reach for it across autumn and winter, where the warm spicy signature sits most naturally; outside those months its softer projection thins out faster.

Occasions

Best For:

Date Formal

Also Works:

Office Casual

This one suits evening and daily settings; the easy, cosy character keeps it versatile for formal rotation too.
