Where it differs: Balsamic Tabacum targets the older, richer formulation, so its honey, hay and incense come across heavier and more resinous than the softer current bottle.

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: Tabac is a denser, smokier burnt honey and tobacco with oriental spice in the drydown, and it lacks the hay, rose and iris that make the original feel dusty and soft.
Where it differs: Volutes is lighter and more transparent, a powdery honeyed tobacco with dried fruit and iris, with far less of the dense hay and amber body of the original.
Where it differs: Tobacco Reserve is a more masculine, spicier sweet tobacco with fruity tones and no rose or iris, so it misses the dusty, feminine powder of the original.
