So the main difference is that Van Yulay's Puros is definitely cigar based. There's that bit of pepper in there that makes you feel like you're in a humidor with moist cigars. It's not sweet. Well maybe just a tad. The Soap Shoppe's Humidor is that sweeter-smelling pipe tobacco scent. I'd say more vanilla in there, not much cherry, but warm and cozy sweet pipe smell. I used Puros La Habana this morning to confirm
