Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Sweet Tobacco Spirits
This one is a divisive beast: some love its boozy, honeyed tobacco and niche-level performance, especially for the price. Others find it cloying, a bit boorish, and surprisingly lacking in actual tobacco. Definitely not a safe blind buy, as opinions vary wildly.

Our Verdict - Tonkade
A truly gorgeous tonka-vanilla bomb with impressive staying power that's garnered a passionate following among gourmand lovers, though a few find it a bit too sweet and linear, or even pick up an unfortunate 'play-doh' note. Utterly addictive to most.

Season and Occasion Fit

Sweet Tobacco Spirits

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Given its beast-mode projection and longevity, this is too much for an office setting. Its rich, sensual character, often described as boozy and warm, makes it ideal for dates and colder-weather formal events, but it's too heavy for casual daytime wear or sport.

Tonkade

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Formal

Given its strong vanilla and amber accords, Tonkade leans quite rich and sweet, making it ideal for date nights and colder weather casual wear. Its impressive longevity and sillage could be a bit much for an office environment, but it's refined enough for some formal settings if applied lightly.
