Which Should You Buy?
A divisive yet highly acclaimed sweet tobacco bomb, Maison Alhambra's Tabac (now 'Smoky') is a beastly performer that's either a budget masterpiece or a headache in a bottle, depending on your nose and patience.
This one's a proper dark horse. While some still cling to the pricey original, Supreme L'homme Extreme punches way above its weight for a fraction of the cost, delivering a rich, fruity-sweet-leathery experience.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Occasions
Given its nuclear projection and long-lasting nature, Tabac isn't suited for office wear, where it might overwhelm. It's best reserved for cooler weather, special occasions, and evenings out, making a statement with its potent, sweet tobacco profile.
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Reviewers often cite this for date nights and special occasions due to its darker, warmer profile. Its moderate sillage and longevity mean it's generally too prominent for an office, and definitely not one for the gym.
Similarity Breakdown
Both share Fruity, Sweet, Tobacco accords and Tobacco, Plum notes
