Back to Black (full name Back to Black, Aphrodisiac, 2009, by perfumer Calice Becker) is a warm, sultry honey-tobacco gourmand — white honey drenched over spicy tobacco, cherry and raspberry, with almond, vanilla, nutmeg and labdanum drying it into a smoky-sweet skin scent, in the vein of Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille and Serge Lutens Fumerie Turque. Because its honey accord is so distinctive, the community consensus is that little else smells like it aside from a small handful of dedicated dupes rather than a crowded clone field. The two repeatedly-recommended options from established clone houses are Alexandria Fragrances 'Fade to Black' — by far the most-cited pick, praised across YouTube and Fragrantica/Parfumo as an extremely close, strong-performing rendition of the honey-cherry-tobacco accord — and Dua Fragrances 'Honey Laced Tabac', which mirrors nearly the full Kilian pyramid. Confidence is moderate: the pairings are well-corroborated for both products, but the overall clone conversation is thinner than for mainstream designer releases, and several other 'dupes' floating around (oil houses, small Etsy-style brands) are single-mention and were excluded.
