Enflammé vs Grand Soir

The community views this comprehensive tobacco fragrance review as a valuable resource with strong recommendations, particularly for Sheldrake fragrances and Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille. However, some debate the authenticity of certain selections as true tobacco fragrances, noting that tonka and other notes can create tobacco-adjacent scents without actual tobacco accords, and personal experiences vary significantly on polarizing entries like Sundowner and Chergui.

Grand Soir is widely praised by the r/fragrance community as an exceptional niche fragrance with a strong opening that develops into a sophisticated amber-vanilla composition. The community strongly recommends sampling before purchasing (MFK offers 6 samples for €14) and notes that while it's not similar to Carlisle, it's a masterfully crafted scent with impressive longevity that many consider a collection essential.
