Back to Black

Which Should You Buy?
A tobacco-vanilla powerhouse with tobacco flower up top, ripe tobacco leaf and clove at the heart, and a vanilla-amber-cedar base. Extraordinary projection and longevity, an evening statement for the tobacco-gourmand crowd.
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
Seasons
Tobacco flower, ripe tobacco leaf, clove, vanilla, amber, and cedar create a dense cool-weather profile; winter is the anchor and fall the natural extension. Far too heavy for summer or spring brightness.
Occasions
Extraordinary projection and tobacco-vanilla density suit formal evenings and statement dates. One reviewer reports having to shower mid-day to reduce the trail; office and sport are out of the question.
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Occasions
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.
Similarity Breakdown
Both share Sweet, Tobacco, Amber accords and Vanilla, Tonka Bean notes
