Which Should You Buy?
Our Verdict - Arabesque Eau de Parfum
A divisive blend that promises autumnal luxury. Some swear it's a 'masterpiece' and better than industry giants, while others dismiss it as 'sickly sweet' or a 'confused jumble'. You'll either love its creamy plum-tobacco warmth or find it utterly underwhelming.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Havana Eau de Parfum
A budget Noted Aromas interpretation of Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille (2007) - tobacco leaf, tonka bean and woody notes translated into NA's UK dupe-house take at a fraction of the original's price. Honest dupe-fidelity for daily wear.
