Sourly sweet with tobacco on top

I really like rhubarb as a fragrance and I was expecting a lot from this fragrance with rhubarb and custard in the title. My high expectations were only partially fulfilled.

I can actually smell the rhubarb, most clearly in the first few minutes. After that, the rhubarb is very much framed by citrusy notes and no longer stands out quite so clearly.
In addition to the sourness, the fragrance also clearly has a sweetness. However, I cannot identify this sweetness as vanilla or pastry.
Rhubarb with vanilla sauce is not necessarily what I perceive overall. After a few minutes, the sweet and sour base note is joined by something tart. It's not clearly tobacco, but it definitely goes in that direction. Hay is listed among the fragrance notes and yes, that also somehow matches what I perceive here.

The fragrance is easily perceptible and long-lasting. These are definitely positive points. Otherwise, I am rather disappointed with the fragrance. Sweet and sour, plus citrus and tobacco - somehow the different scents don't really go together for my nose.
