What does Tabac smell like?

It opens with spices, ginger and aniseed. In the heart, hay, coffee and tonka bean soften the scent and add a creamy warmth. In the base, vanilla, ambrox and tobacco take over; the scent turns sweeter while the woody and leathery tones stay in the background.

Both longevity and sillage are rated strong, so it lasts and carries noticeably around the wearer. The number of ratings is small, so these figures are a first impression rather than a firm verdict. It suits anyone, men or women, who wants a dense, warm scent. Its profile is close to Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille (Eau de Parfum) and Houbigant Tabac Nomade.
