Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Herod Eau de Parfum
A benchmark tobacco-vanilla that wraps you in smoky, spiced luxury. Herod is intense, seductive, and unmistakably plush-perfect for cold evenings, special outings, and commanding presence.
Statement
Our Verdict - Red Tobacco Eau de Parfum
Red Tobacco is a beast that polarises opinion like few others. Its nuclear projection and potent tobacco-spice blend are either adored for their bold confidence or reviled as an assault on the senses. Definitely not a blind buy.

Occasions

Best For:
Date
