This one is as divisive as it is potent. For some, it's a 'masterpiece' of photorealistic honey and nuanced tobacco. For others, it's a 'sickeningly sweet', 'headache-inducing' honey bomb that drowns out everything else. Sample before you splurge, as personal chemistry is key.

A budget take on Mugler A*Men Pure Havane. The sweet honeyed-tobacco heart laced with vanilla and bitter cocoa captures the original's sun-drenched cigar-and-honey charm; the dupe reads a touch flatter and gives up some of the Mugler's big sillage and long staying power.
