Herod or Tobacco Vanille
Tobacco and vanilla: the icon vs its quiet double
VS
Herod
«Tobacco with cinnamon and labdanum over vanilla — the same warmth, only hushed and more resinous.»
Tobacco Vanille
«Tobacco, vanilla and chocolate-dipped dried fruit — the benchmark, read across a whole foyer.»
Tobacco Vanille is louder and gets recognized almost instantly — the same liquid at higher volume and wider reach. Herod is quieter and drier, cinnamon in place of chocolate fruit — the same warmth for those who don't want to shout. Both are winter heavyweights that suffocate in an office; for the evening, choose by volume.

And the character is the same — warm, sweet, smoky skin; these really are mood twins.

Tobacco Vanille leads with dried fruit and chocolate into dessert; Herod pulls back into cinnamon, labdanum and osmanthus — drier, more resinous, less indulgent.
Tobacco Vanille set the template in the mid-2000s and hasn't aged; Herod came later as a variation on an established theme.
Both are niche, and neither charges status for nothing: the house signature is present in each bottle.
Searches put Tobacco Vanille clearly ahead — the genre's people's benchmark; Herod lives in its shadow as the connoisseur's pick.
