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 - Great Evening EDP
Great Evening chases MFK Grand Soir's golden amber glow, melting labdanum and benzoin into a creamy vanilla-tonka warmth. The original's room-filling, 12-hour beast performance is heavily reined in here, but it captures that luxurious, comforting amber character on a budget.
