Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Sundowner
This one's a proper love-it-or-hate-it. Some reckon it's a masterpiece of dry tobacco, while others can't stand the opening or find it too challenging. Definitely not a blind buy.

Our Verdict - Tonka Sel-Noir
This one's a real love-it-or-hate-it affair, polarizing opinions like no other. If 'ashtray with caramel' sounds like your jam, dive in. Otherwise, proceed with extreme caution; this isn't a safe blind buy.

Season and Occasion Fit

Sundowner

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Occasions

Best For:
Date
Also Works:
Casual Formal

Its potent, warm spicy and tobacco accords, combined with reports of strong projection, make it unsuitable for an office setting. However, its sensual and bold character is perfect for dates and evening events, particularly in cooler weather.

Tonka Sel-Noir

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Winter

Built for the cooler edges of the year - spring and winter pair best.

Occasions

No strong occasion fit

Given the strong, divisive opening and the overall unconventional scent profile, this is not suitable for office wear or casual daytime use. Its peculiar charm might work for a daring date night or an edgy formal event, but its limited mass appeal means it won't be a crowd-pleaser.
