The verdict: Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille is the longevity pick — very long (10-12h) against long (6–8h) for Maison Margiela Replica. Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille projects harder (strong sillage), so it owns a room — and an office can be too small for it. They live in the same scent territory — tobacco and vanilla against tobacco and sweet — which is exactly why people cross-shop them.
