The 4 worth trying, ranked
Similarity is the owners' vote plus the note overlap. Price is a typical US bottle price when the house publishes one. Bars are each match's own accords.
Where it differs: Captures the green tobacco character with a fresh herbal opening, but adds clove and nutmeg spice that makes it warmer than the airy, suede-soft original.
Where it differs: Offers comparable tobacco and woody notes for about $40, but reads more straightforward, with less of the magnolia, tea and violet floral lift.
Where it differs: A designer tobacco-green aromatic named as a stand-in for the Intensivo, it is sharper and more herbal with none of the soft suede and magnolia.
