Favourite
Our Verdict - Montabaco Eau de Parfum
A truly unique tobacco scent that's either a classy masterpiece or a confusing mess, depending on your nose. It's potent yet strangely airy, making it a divisive but ultimately sophisticated choice.

Formal

Percival’s moderate projection and versatile freshness make it perfect for office and casual settings, while its refined character works for dates and even semi-formal occasions. It is less suited for intense sport or very formal black-tie settings.
