Which Should You Buy?
A legendary designer tobacco-honey bomb, Mugler's Pure Havane is a smooth, sweet, and slightly smoky masterpiece that's a crime to have discontinued. It's often compared to Naxos, but don't get it twisted - this came first and, for many, it's still superior.
This one's a bit of a mixed bag; a sophisticated honey-vanilla that's richer and darker than its stablemates, but some folks are left wanting more of the promised tobacco. It's a love-it-or-leave-it take on a sweet scent.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
Its potent projection and inherent sweetness make it too much for an office setting. However, it's a solid choice for dates, formal events, and colder casual outings, as many reviewers rave about its compliment-getting power in those situations.
Seasons
A winter perfume through and through - made for cold, dark months.
Occasions
Its rich, dark and sweet profile, particularly the honey and vanilla, makes it better suited for evening and intimate settings rather than a professional office. The luxurious feel lends itself well to formal events, though perhaps a touch too heavy for everyday casual wear.
Similarity Breakdown
Both share Sweet, Amber, Tobacco accords and Labdanum, Honey notes
