Just picked this up in Zara. No tester but for the price I took a punt on their Tobacco Collection. One of them I've tried so far is very sweet and vanilla scented, possibly a bit too sweet for my tastes but pleasant indeed. I may well prefer the other one, which is more peppery. We shall see.

Eden Essential Oil Majmua - Head: Bitter, Sweet, Slightly Floral, Creamy, Rich; Heart: Vanillic, Vetiver, Kewra, Cooling; Base: Green, Musky, Woody, Earthy

Gosh! That is potent! One single dab from the end of the dipstick and I'm engulfed in a whirl of scent ...

Baked earthiness and a bitterness open; an almost fecal note? Green, grassiness, leaves ... then a sweetness, like some exotic liqueur (maybe Paan, maybe Galliano?). After an hour, that opening fecal note has dropped entirely and the vetiver has taken over some of the earthiness and some of the grassiness. The kewra is really starting to come through now ...

Swiss Arabian Majmoua Gold - Champaca, amber, saffron, sandalwood & agarwood

Very bitter opening but relaxes out into a Chypre-like scent, sorta leathery also?
