Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - The Blazing Mister Sam EDP
A swaggering, spicy-tobacco statement piece that exudes confidence and complexity. The Blazing Mister Sam is for those who want to stand out in a sea of bland designer masculines.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Blazing Sam Parfum
Blazing Sam borrows the cardamom-cinnamon-saffron spice run and tobacco-vanilla base that make Penhaligon's The Blazing Mister Sam so distinctive, though the saffron's expensive, slightly medicinal edge is smoothed into a simpler sweet-spicy tobacco accord that loses some of the original's complexity.
