Note that's Tobacco Myth is more than double the price of Exclusif Tabac, so may be a question of spending 2.5X to get it a bit closer.

Exclusif Tabac is close to Mystery Tobacco at almost every moment but I find that Mystery Tobacco has a bit more depth while Exclusif tends to be slightly sweeter.

Yeah I just meant the Exclusif Tabac was supposed to clone Mystery Tobacco, but both scent profiles ARE not that far off.
