Tobacco Vanille

I can't begin to describe how much I love this scent. It's just the perfect blend of Borkum Riff vanilla pipe tobacco, honey, and real-smelling vanilla that combines for the perfect masculine gourmand scent on cool evenings. It sprays on very strong and stays that way for four hours or more, before drying down to a tobacco-honey scent that can still be smelled on my skin a full twelve hours later. It always earns compliments both at work or while out 'n about from both men and women. It's made up of such near-universally loved scents that it's rare it's going to offend anyone. The one big downside used to be the $400+ price but recently it has come down to around $200 (the ones for $110 online are counterfeits), which makes it a much better purchase. I don't know if that's because dupes like Pendora's Charuto Tobacco Vanille are almost 1/1 recreations and lots of people know it, but it's nice to see the price drop. Ironically, the Charuto is now a $70 dupe so go figure.

The winter fragrance, one of the greats maybe even would be on the mount Rushmore of fragrances if it existed jfl. The performance on it is laughable considering the DNA and the smell, it lasts around 3.5 - 4h on my skin but on clothes it does last a couple days however. It smells mature, likr a very rich millionaire sitting in a chair, in a cashmere sweater reading a book drinking 60 year old whiskey and smoking a cigar. Younger Men can pull it off if their Outfit is classy enough, it gets a LOT of compliments from young Women to older Women, it doesnt matter. Even Men compliment it a lot. It Fits a winter date night the most even though i wear it once a week/once every other week to school or just an average day. The Tobacco doesnt overpower, it blends in with the flawless Vanilla and other notes and create a deep gorgeous majestic synergy that is just very admirable.

My favorite fragrance that I have yet to purchase. Pure wrist candy. That tobacco hits like the sweetest dark honey…honey…HONEY, and doesn’t let go. But only hints of balanced clove that the clones can never seem to get right…this is a masterpiece of perfumery…this modern miracle... I almost don’t wanna buy it because it’s too special and I don’t want it to become mundane for me. It is the smell of all things indulgent. To me, it’s pure class. A holiday classic menagerie of pipe tobacco on cedar wood porches with cider, bubbling and cookies, baking and old books with leather binding open on the desk… It’s a golden poem. Dense. Thick. Like pouring the finest maple syrup on a pancake and YOU are the pancake.

I had this perfume for a long time and then got tired of it because I wore it everywhere all year round - I had two 100 ml bottles. This is one outstanding perfume and definitely a male pefrume. Ideal for business meetings, going out with friends or partner. I would say it better suits some special occasions but I broke that rule everyday. Longevity is outstanding, up to 12+ hours, sillage outstanding - people will smell you from 2-3 meters and you will leave a nice perfume trail but not overpowering one. I love potent perfumes, so this was on point. The problem is that it is very expensive and new batches are far less potent than the older ones.

I’m on my second bottle. It’s my signature Xmas break scent 🙂. It’s a very unique tobacco fragrance that definitely projects. Most people that have smelt it on me have said that they like it. However, I’ve also met a couple people (including my ex) that weren’t very fond of it. I would agree it’s not for everyone but I love it and I even wear it before bed sometimes while I’m on my own. The smell is soothing, warm / holiday spice, niche leaning and cozy to me. I’ll always have a bottle in my fragrance collection.
