Sample them and decide. I haven't tried Eau de Tsar, but the other two are fine, affordable additions to nearly any man's collection.

Actually, I've tried VCA pH and Tsar (never seen Eau de Tsar here), but no longer recall them in detail. I might not be able to sample them again until end of this month, so I'll just ask for some suggestions here. My blind buys based on BN have been quite successful in general.

Both VCA pour Homme and Tsar are excellent choices for your wardrobe

tsar only stoud out to me because it was the only strong frag in the mall among zegnas, carolina herreras, and mostly new ones. they didn't carry vca ph. i'd go with vca ph because it's soapy and can be worn in warm/ cold weather just as well. the soapiness of vca ph is what won me over. it was a nice surprise.

Haven't tried Eau de Tsar, but of the other two, I would go with VCA pour Homme.

pirop, yes, I'm a bit worried about the weather issue. However, it's raining almost everyday now and maybe it'll be wearable in the evening. Also, I may dab it instead of spraying to minimize the sillage.

Depends on if you like powerhouse style macho frags. If you do, then go with Van Cleef PH - it's a super powerful, bitter green leather chypre, very austere. It is also one of the longest lasting scents I own, with huge sillage.

TSAR is somewhat similar, but is much woodier, a lot less intense, and is a fougere. Longevity is just average, as is projection. It also smells very green. Both frags are great, but I personally much prefer VCA.

Has anyone tried Eau de Tsar???

I'm wearing vintage Tsar as we speak. Very fresh with a terrific floral heart and mossy-leathery-woody base. Average sillage and longevity and perfect if you want to wear something that has some gravitas in the warmer months.
