Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Aoud Leather EDP

Aoud Leather from Montale is a beast-mode, divisive scent. You'll either love this bold, refined leather with oud and citrus or find it too harsh and synthetic. Definitely sample before committing.

Our Verdict - Tobacco D'Feu EDP

This one is definitely not for everyone, and you'll need a tolerant nose to get past the challenging opening. Expect a bold, spicy tobacco hit that some find divine and others utterly repulsive. Proceed with caution - it's a love-it-or-hate-it beast.

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Occasions

Best For:

Date Formal

Also Works:

Casual

Given its beastly projection and longevity, Aoud Leather is often too much for an office setting, risking overwhelming co-workers. It excels in colder weather and evening events, making it ideal for dates and formal occasions. Its strong character also works for stylish casual wear when you want to make a statement.

Tobacco D'Feu

Seasons

Best For:

Autumn Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Occasions

Also Works:

Casual

Its bold and potentially polarising nature, especially the strong cumin opening and dry tobacco heart, makes it less suitable for formal or office settings. Several reviews suggest it's more for personal enjoyment or casual wear among those who appreciate its unique profile, rather than a crowd-pleaser for dates. While performance is a mixed bag, its strong character keeps it from being an everyday workhorse.
