Tabacca

8.8

Costamor · 2009

Floral · Fruity · Sweet

Costamor Tabacca is a sweet, smoky women's fragrance that keeps its floral and spicy sides close together; it has been discontinued. As a whole it reads warm and oriental. Amber and tobacco lay a smoky, woody base, while spices and woods sharpen it. Jasmine brings the floral side, and apple skin and rose tea add a fruity, gourmand sweetness. There is also a faint animal edge in the accords. Voters find both longevity and sillage strong, though the number of votes is small, so that verdict is tentative. With its dense, sweet-smoky build it feels suited to cooler weather. Frank Frank No. 3 and Zara Amber Satin have a close profile.

Sugarwood

7.1

Costamor · 2009

Citrus · Floral · Fruity

Costamor Sugarwood is a feminine scent that sets citrus and floral notes against the sweetness of sugar cane and a woody base. The notes read as one continuous blend: bergamot and fig bring a fruity freshness, while jasmine, peony and iris build a floral body. Sugar cane adds a gourmand sweetness, and cedarwood and musk hold it on a soft, woody footing. Spicy and synthetic touches also appear among the accords, and the overall impression is sweet, fruity and lightly woody. Voters rate it 7.1 out of 10.
