Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Amber Oud Tobacco Edition Eau de Parfum
This is a seriously polarising scent, but if you love Tom Ford's Tobacco Vanille, you'd be daft not to give this a go. It's an absolute beast in performance, and for the price, the quality punches well above its weight. Give it time to macerate, though, or you might just get a clove bomb.

Our Verdict - Vanille Absolu Eau de Parfum
This is Montale's attempt at the quintessential gourmand vanilla and it's a divisive one. Fans love the rich, sweet, and comforting scent, with some calling it 'the' vanilla. Detractors, however, find it synthetic, plasticky, and cloying. Approach with caution, but if you want to smell like cookies, this might be your jam.

Season and Occasion Fit

Amber Oud Tobacco Edition Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its beast-mode performance and rich, spicy profile make it too much for an office setting. However, its warmth and sophistication lend themselves perfectly to date nights and formal events, especially in cooler weather. It's a bit heavy for casual wear and entirely unsuitable for sport.

Vanille Absolu Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual

Its potent sweetness and occasional beast-mode projection make it less suitable for office environments. It shines in casual settings or on dates where its warm, inviting character can be appreciated without overwhelming. Not a formal or sport scent due to its gourmand nature.
