Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Tabac 28 Miami EDP
Tobacco, guaiac wood, rum, cedar and cardamom blended into one smoky, boozy heart. A dark cigar-lounge scent with a touch of spice, made for cold nights out and long dinners.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Leaf XXVIII EDP
Dry tobacco leaf, guaiac wood and cedar, with a spark of cardamom: a smoky-spicy scent inspired by Le Labo Tabac 28 Miami. Close and quiet rather than loud.

Season and Occasion Fit

Tabac 28 Miami

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

Tobacco, rum and guaiac wood are warm and smoky, so autumn comes first and winter close behind. Spring and summer would drown in it.

Occasions

Also Works:
Date Casual

Dates and evenings out suit its smoky depth, and it can stretch to a formal occasion. It is too heavy for the office 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

Also Works:
Office Date Casual Formal

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