Sweet Tobacco

François Delì · 2012

Sweet · Gourmand · Spicy

François Delì Sweet Tobacco is a sweet, gourmand men's fragrance that sets tobacco and vanilla in a warm, spicy frame. It opens with ginger, clove and cinnamon for a spicy warmth. Coriander and tobacco lead the heart, and the base of tolu balm, tonka bean, vanilla and coniferous woods settles it into a sweet, resinous, slightly smoky finish. Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick winter and fall, and it is chosen most often for evenings and nights out. Its character leans masculine. Guerlain Tobacco Honey and Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille (Eau de Parfum) have a close profile.

François Delì · 2012

Fresh · Floral · Sweet

François Delì Spicy Agarwood is a male-classified fragrance that sets spice and sweetness against a woody backbone, leaning towards autumn and winter evenings.

Most voters read it as masculine, although a fair number call it feminine. It opens with black pepper, cardamom and rosewood, then moves into vetiver, oud and sandalwood at the heart. Tonka bean, ambergris and vanilla sweeten the base. The spicy, woody, smoky side is softened by a powdery, resinous sweetness.

Gold (Eau de Toilette)

7.5

Yardley · 1976

Fresh · Floral · Green

Eau de Toilette

Yardley Gold Eau de Toilette is a masculine fougère that is fresh, green and spicy in character; it has been discontinued. Its longevity is rated good and its sillage moderate, so it stays fairly close to the skin rather than filling a room. Only a few people have rated it, so these scores are a loose guide. It reads clearly masculine. It opens with bergamot, lemon and lavender, while basil and rosemary add a herbal, green edge. In the heart, geranium, moss and nutmeg give it a spicy frame, softened a little by rose and jasmine. The base of cedar, patchouli, leather and amber settles into a woody, leathery and slightly sweet finish.
