Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - A*Men Pure Havane EDT
A legendary designer tobacco-honey bomb, Mugler's Pure Havane is a smooth, sweet, and slightly smoky masterpiece that's a crime to have discontinued. It's often compared to Naxos, but don't get it twisted - this came first and, for many, it's still superior.

Our Verdict - Vanilla Club EDP
This one's a divisive beast, eliciting both adoration and outright repulsion. If you're after a budget-friendly alternative to a certain iconic tobacco-vanilla, you might just find your new obsession, but be warned, some find it utterly sickening.
