Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Tabac 28 Miami EDP
Tabac 28 Miami is a wildly divisive scent - people either adore its raw, smoky tobacco and boozy warmth or absolutely revolt at what they perceive as an "ashtray" or "medicinal" stench. You'll likely love it, or you'll gag. Not for the faint of heart, or wallet.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Leaf XXVIII EDP
Perfume Parlour's affordable interpretation of Le Labo - Tabac 28 Miami - a warm spicy fragrance led by Tobacco Leaf, with woody depth. It captures the gist of the original at a fraction of the cost, rendering a touch simpler and quieter.

Season and Occasion Fit

Tabac 28 Miami

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date
Also Works:
Formal

This is a strong, distinctive tobacco and rum scent, which isn't ideal for an office environment. However, its bold and mysterious character makes it perfect for a date night or a sophisticated formal event. It's too heavy and boozy for casual daytime wear or sport.

Leaf XXVIII

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

The warm spicy character is happiest in autumn and winter - cooler air gives the warmth room to bloom; the dupe's lighter build means it can struggle to project in the opposite season.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Office Casual

Its warm spicy, woody signature leans toward evening and daily wear - approachable enough for formal use without overwhelming a room.
