Which Should You Buy?
This "elixir" version of Asad is a controversial one, with some branding it a watered-down fraud and others a masterpiece. It's a heavy-hitting, masculine winter fragrance, but you might need to let it "macerate" for a while to get the most out of it.
This one's a divisive banger, a room-filler that demands attention in the best possible way. Those chasing a milder scent should steer clear, but if you're after a bold, long-lasting tobacco with a spicy kick, Oud Tabac is your guy.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Occasions
Its potent projection and long-lasting nature make it less suitable for the office, though some find it wearable. The scent's deep, warm, and seductive profile, emphasised by tobacco and amber, makes it perfect for dates, formal events, and colder casual evenings. It's definitely not a sport fragrance.
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Occasions
Its potent projection and long-lasting nature make it less suited for an intimate office setting, but it shines in formal or date scenarios where making a strong impression is key. The rich tobacco and oud accords lend themselves to cooler weather and dressier events, as noted by many reviewers.
Similarity Breakdown
Both share Tobacco, Amber, Vanilla accords and Cedar, Saffron notes
