Which Should You Buy?
A divisive yet highly acclaimed sweet tobacco bomb, Maison Alhambra's Tabac (now 'Smoky') is a beastly performer that's either a budget masterpiece or a headache in a bottle, depending on your nose and patience.
A budget Noted Aromas interpretation of Mugler Angel (1992) - cotton candy, honey and patchouli translated into NA's UK dupe-house take at a fraction of the original's price. Honest dupe-fidelity for daily wear.
