Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - No. 89 Eau de Toilette

A quintessential barbershop fougère with a brisk citrus and lavender opening, refined florals, and a powdery, woody base. Understated, dignified, and supremely British, it is suited for those who value tradition and subtlety over trends.

Favourite

Our Verdict - Original Eau de Toilette

A masterclass in aromatic masculinity, Tabac Original bridges old school barbershop with modern freshness. Versatile, reliable, and quietly charismatic, it never shouts but always feels composed.

Season and Occasion Fit

No. 89 Eau de Toilette

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Autumn

Also Works:

Summer

The crisp citrus and aromatic freshness shine in spring and early summer, while the powdery woods and moss lend themselves to cool autumn days. It is less suited to heavy winter wear due to its lightness and low warmth.

Occasions

Best For:

Office Casual Formal

Its clean, reserved projection and classic barbershop elegance make it ideal for office and formal settings. It is also a discreet yet sophisticated choice for casual wear, but lacks the energy and sportiness for gym or active occasions.

Original Eau de Toilette

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Autumn

Also Works:

Summer

Bright citrus and aromatic herbs make this ideal for spring, while the woody and powdery base gives enough warmth for fall. It can work in summer if applied lightly but stays more restrained in winter.

Occasions

Best For:

Office Casual

Also Works:

Date

Refined yet understated projection makes it well suited to the office or casual daywear. Its classic, clean masculinity offers some date appeal but is less fitting for sports or black tie.
