What do reviewers say about Tabac Sahara and Mr Harrod?

Some fragrances announce themselves. This one doesn't. The smoke is warm, the base is intimate, and if you expected Guerlain to shout, prepare for a whisper instead.Tabac Sahara

The tobacco and oud base is what makes this worth choosing. Not a casual wear, the sillage demands restraint. Two pumps max. But for the man who wants to be remembered? This is the one.Mr Harrod
