What does Sacre Tabac - Cacao Torride smell like?

Vanilla tobacco leads, with cocoa and cream adding richness and spices giving the sweetness a warm edge. Assam oud and musk provide a woody, slightly powdery base, while crimson clover stays in the background. The overall impression is oriental, dense and edible.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, and favour evenings and nights out. It reads more masculine to most, though a fair number find it feminine. Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille (Eau de Parfum) and Maison Alhambra Eternal Touch / Tobacco Touch have a close profile.
