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.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Guerlain Tobacco Honey Oil
A sophisticated blend that wraps you in a rich embrace of honeyed tobacco, perfect for cooler seasons.
