Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - A*Men Pure Havane Eau de Toilette
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 - Insurrection II Wild Eau de Parfum
This budget tobacco-honey powerhouse is a divisive but ultimately beloved fragrance, often needing some 'maceration' time to truly shine. For the price, it's a no-brainer if you're into warm, sweet tobacco.
