I've come to Basenotes relatively recemtly (8 months) but have found it fascinating and invaluable when looking at fragrances - quite a few blind buys (Van Cleef & A, Antaeus, Montana Red, Bowling Green, Yatagan) made on the basis of what I've read and, thankfully, I've loved them all.
I've been looking through directory, seeking out a tobacco, letahery scent and bothe Michael for Men and Tommy Bahama seem to fit the bill - to be honest frags I would never have looked at were it not for BN, as I would generally tend to have little regard for more recent releases.
However, both are highly lauded in reviews and in other threads - each having strong boozy, tobacco aspect with maybe differences, from what I can discern, from fruit to spice between the two. Both have apparently good longevity, both come at similar low prices.
Leather (which I love) is not mentioned as a note in either, but seems to be a feature in both at the same time.
So what is the BN view regarding which is better-I would be delighted and grateful; to hear what other BNers think!
