Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Fumerie Turque Eau de Parfum

This is a masterpiece that divides opinion: some find it an intoxicating, narcotic tobacco dream, whilst others recoil at its animalic honey and ashtray notes. It's truly a love-it-or-hate-it scent, but undeniably unique.

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.

Season and Occasion Fit

Fumerie Turque Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:

Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:

Date

Also Works:

Formal

Its strong, complex tobacco and animalic honey notes, combined with impressive longevity and sillage, make it unsuitable for office wear. This rich, deep scent is ideal for intimate dates and special evening events, but far too heavy for casual daytime or sport.

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.
