Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Back to Black Eau de Parfum

Divisive, complex, and utterly intriguing, Back to Black is either a masterpiece of dark honeyed tobacco or a baby wipes and urinal cake nightmare. It's truly a love-it-or-hate-it scent that commands attention, for better or worse.

Our Verdict - Tabac Eau de Parfum

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.

Season and Occasion Fit

Seasons

Best For:

Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:

Date Formal

Its potent projection and rich, complex notes make it unsuitable for an office setting, but ideal for intimate date nights and formal events where its luxurious character can shine. It's often described as a 'night fragrance' or for colder weather, further limiting casual wear.

Casual

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.
