Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Tobacco Eau de Parfum
This is a seriously polarising scent, loved by many for its unique take on tobacco, but others are left cold by what they perceive as an overwhelming clove note or disappointing performance. Don't blind buy; this is one you need to sniff out for yourself for fear of 'clove shock'.

Our Verdict - Arabesque Eau de Parfum
A divisive blend that promises autumnal luxury. Some swear it's a 'masterpiece' and better than industry giants, while others dismiss it as 'sickly sweet' or a 'confused jumble'. You'll either love its creamy plum-tobacco warmth or find it utterly underwhelming.
