Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Idole Eau de Parfum

Lubin's Idole EDP is a divisive one. Many find it a rich, boozy, sophisticated amber-wood symphony, but a good proportion are left underwhelmed by its projection and longevity. A 'love it or leave it' kinda scent, with a price tag to match its luxurious bottle.

Statement

Our Verdict - Tobacco Orangerie Eau de Parfum

Tobacco-leather-amber in classic configuration, with a tangerine-coriander-cumin opening that lifts the heaviness off the heart. The base layers oud and frankincense over patchouli-sandalwood, putting it in conversation with Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille's heavier cousins (Tom Ford Tobacco Oud, By Kilian Back to Black, Hermes Ambre Narguile) but using the Orangerie citrus framing to keep it from collapsing into pure sweetness.

Season and Occasion Fit

Idole Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:

Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:

Date Formal

Also Works:

Casual

Its rich, boozy, and spicy character makes it less suitable for the office or sport. However, its sophisticated and sensual allure, while potentially lacking in sillage for some, is perfect for dates and evening formal events.

Tobacco Orangerie Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:

Autumn Winter

The tobacco-leather-oud-frankincense register reads heaviest in cold weather. Spring evenings work in cool conditions; summer is unwearable for the density.

Occasions

Best For:

Date Formal

Also Works:

Casual

Date and formal evening are the natural fit - the heavy tobacco-amber register signals presence and gravitas. Casual works for those who like statement scents; office reads bold.
