Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Velvet Plum Eau de Parfum
Don't let the name fool you - skip the fruit aisle entirely. This is a divisive, leathery, woody, powdery enigma that some adore for its unique sophistication, while others find it just plain baffling.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Tabac Blond Eau de Parfum
Divisive yet iconic, Tabac Blond is a challenging masterpiece that demands boldness. Whether it's a 'love at first sniff' or a 'gas station' horror depends purely on your skin and your nerve. This one's definitely not for the faint of heart, but absolutely legendary if you can pull it off.

Tabac Blond Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn
Also Works:
Spring Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Its potent character and commanding presence make it less suitable for typical office wear, while its complexity and richness align perfectly with formal events and intimate dates. The bold leather and tobacco facets are not ideal for casual or sporty settings, though many reviewers enjoy wearing it just for themselves.
