Blessed are the sleek...

-Take 100ml of Lagavulin 16 Years Old or any other single malt smoke bomb coming from Scotland.
-Add 25gr of Craven extra dark Virginia aromatic tobacco.
-Hide it inside an Eastern Orthodox church's pulpit for two months.
-Be careful to choose one with a wooden pulpit.
-Shake it vigorously every Sunday morning after the mass.
-In the meanwhile grow a beard.
-Wear it and try to trick the local laity into believing that you're the newly appointed priest of their parish. If they start kissing your divinely smelling hand, then you've done it right.
-Now, enjoy the 200+ bucks you've saved, by buying 4-5 topnotch fragrances that do not reek with "holier-than-thou" pricing.
-Repeat periodically.

Tom Ford's Skanky Ash

The hype mill will have one believe this is the child of the now-defunct Amber Absolute. Absolutely not. Na-ah! Thumbs and big toes percipitously down on this pee-yewer. It does start off with great promise - all that mystical, ambery, oudy, incensey miasma emanating from an ancient, middle-eastern pot of gold and amethyst.

Cut to an hour later: the pot metamorphoses into a goddam ashtray full to the brim with tobacco ash and - dare I say it - a tobacco smoker's a$$, and continues this olfactory onslaught for the rest of the day.

(And this isn't just my skin's interpretation. Even the TF sales assistant here in London confided to personally hating it).

If the perfumer was trying to rework Amber Absolute into a more saleable product, he/she must've been smoking something when they made this. Get thee back to the lab whence you came!

Strong & masculine to the bones

This was my first bold and risky buy and at first I was scared how it would smell because of many people saying it was unpleasant. I'm glad I didn't listen, because it is a bomb of a fragrance and suits my pesonality a lot. 5 sprays is usually enough to project in the whole room. Not to mention it's longevity which can last all day in my opinion.
Also my favorite thing about this one is the reaction on my girl's face as soon as she smelled it for the first time. needless to say she couldn't keep her hands off of me.

Best Tom Ford

Very masculine and interesting scent. That whiskey opening with that ashy tobacco does it for me. Lasts a long time and projects good. Best Tom Ford in my opinion.

Dokha, Midwakh And fine Whisky

What is Dokha? Let’s dive into the details. Dokha is Arabic tobacco that is smoked through a Medwakh pipe. Very popular in the Middle East for many decades, it was originally used by shepherds who grazed their flocks. It was then smoked by sailors because it was suitable for use at sea. Over the next hundred years, the use of Dokha tobacco spread, but it became more and more the preserve of the rich and powerful. It was seen as a symbol of wealth, as is often the case with something newly launched on the market. However, it took some time before it was widely adopted by the general population of the Middle East. What is Dokha made of? Dokha is pure, natural and original Arabic-breed tobacco. They grind it in a timely and delicate manner to preserve its strength, freshness, and pure taste. Due to the low degree of processing, Dokha tobacco appears substantially unaltered from the leaves of plants grown in the field, maintaining the green colour. Tobacco is smoked almost exclusively through a specialized pipe called a midwakh.

Leaving aside this ingredient for a moment, I wanted to try this fragrance because of the whiskey accord reported on some sites. It’s no secret that my second passion after perfumes is smoked and peaty Scottish whiskeys. Tobacco, pipe and distillate ... is this exactly what we are talking about?

Tobacco Oud immediately releases a massive alcoholic accord without hesitation or supporting notes. There is no room here for citrusy, airy or aquatic notes. We are dealing with dense, dark, almost sacred matter. The alcoholic note is that of whiskey with resinous nuances. The flavour of this one doesn't remind me of a peat whiskey like Ardbeg, or Lagavulin, the smokiest and most complex peaty single malt on the island of Islay. Instead, it reminds me of bourbon like Jack Daniel’s Gentleman. As the whiskey and dirty base notes are in your face, it isn't for the faint of heart.

It takes a few minutes for the boozy accord to fade, and then a warm, tobacco-leafy note oozes from the blend. It is a persuasive, semi-sweet, spicy, intoxicating, unconventional tobacco that tickles the nose. Don’t think of a cigarette, or worse a cigar, but of something like a mix of crumbled tobacco leaves with spices, nuts, flowers and herbs. Among the spices, cinnamon is outstanding. Now, the scent is smoky and a bit dirty due to the incense and patchouli ingredients. Something is compelling about Tobacco Oud.

As it dries, olibanum and hot benzoin become more prominent, and the former is far too pungent. The oud, on the other hand, is muted while tobacco reigns softly and dominates the entire composition. Alcoholic whiskey hasn’t really faded away either, but it’s a whisper now. The perfume is a sweet, warm, woody skin veil, neither too smoky nor too animalic. I'd say that oud is a well-made product and is not a cough syrup, as it could be if it's not handled properly. Eventually, if you’re anything like me, you might pick up a few shades of honey from time to time.

In conclusion, Tobacco Oud is more about tobacco than an oud. The former dominates while the latter is minimal and supportive. It is a perfume to be preferred during the autumn and winter months. Ingredients such as spices and resins are not very effective in the heat, but they do very well in the cold. For more formal evening and night events. Although I don't like to associate perfume with gender, I believe this unisex perfume has a masculine side. Don’t buy blindly, unless you are in love with smoky, resinous fragrances. This is my personal experience with this gem and I shouldn’t influence anyone.

I base the review on a decant I have owned since October 2022.
