Some wearers find the sweetness excessive or sickly.
The Verdict
Tobacco Vanille is our pick, because La Yuqawam has neither tobacco nor vanilla. It's a leather scent: saffron, olibanum and jasmine, over leather, oud and amber. Saffron and leather make it smoky and suede-like, with incense drifting through. Tobacco Vanille is tobacco leaf, ginger and spice, tonka, cocoa and dried fruit, sweet and boozy. Choose La Yuqawam for leather.
