A sweet tobacco bomb...

At first you get this sweet tobacco note. Its not a scent that evolves much in the beginning, its just a sweet tobacco which is a very, very pleasant smell. As other people have recalled it smells a little like tobacco vanille except that the tobacco here is much Sweeter and more realistic.

After some time you can smell faint hints of the cedarwood. The sweet tobacco is still the prominent factor here and the woody type of smell that you get just makes this more of a mature fragrance. The oud in this fragrance is not something you would really pick up if you did not read the notes. Its very subtle but it does not push aside the tobacco, rather it combines it good.

If you are someone that loves sweet tobacco then this is the scent for you.

Wasn't what I expected

I might have received faulty juice, because this to me was absolutely horrible. It smelt like garbage juice. I did not get any "authentic" tobacco I was looking for or sweetness. It's odd because the notes sound very good and up my alley.

It also has a weird smell on the dry down, like something stale and musty. One of the most unpleasant experiences I have had with a perfume.

Unfortunately, or fortunately, it didn't last long in my collection. I gave it away as soon I received it.

I don't mean to be rude or anything but I expected Tabac Extreme to be banger and this whole experience let me down and was like a puncture to my expectations.

Cold Tobacco and Sharp Cherry Lollipop - An Olfactory Boundary Experience

Imagine an abandoned vaulted cellar: cool, damp, slightly dim. The walls of old stone breathe silence, and a heavy, dark scent hangs in the air: cold, wet tobacco. No smoke, no embers, no associations with cigars or cigarettes, but the raw, untreated leaf, freshly fermented, with an almost earthy moisture. This tobacco is anything but sweet or caramelized. Rather, it is bitter and serious, like a deep pause.

Almost immediately, a cherry note joins in. But it surprises as well. Not juicy, not fruity, and not liqueur-like, as in other fragrances. More like a cherry lollipop. Sweet, slightly artificial, yet somehow fitting with the dark, cool tobacco. The plum remains in the shadow of this cherry. Only perceptible when one specifically looks for it, almost like a blurred echo.

In the background, a subtle but persistent sharpness builds up. It reminds one of freshly grated ginger - sharp, citrusy, almost biting - as if it were placing small flashes of light into the otherwise dark scent profile. No animalistic oud tones, no leather, no dirtiness. Instead, a clear, angular structure.

After a while, the picture shifts slightly. The tobacco remains present, but now a gentle warmth joins in: vanilla. But not creamy or gourmand, rather dry, almost dusty, like fine vanilla powder settling over the tobacco. The patchouli also mixes in, giving the fragrance an earthy depth. The incense is throughout the entire scent journey just a distant, barely tangible shimmer, contributing more structure than smell.

Tabac Extreme is not a scent for a mild everyday mood. It is demanding, cool, unusual, and precisely because of that, fascinating. Those seeking tobacco in its wet, serious form, without smoke, without shisha sweetness, will find it here. The cherry appears deliberately artificial, like a targeted stylistic break. The ginger brings spice. Vanilla and patchouli provide depth. And somewhere in between, a barely audible hint of incense. No cuddly scent. No mainstream. But a statement in the form of fragrance.

My personal taste does not fully align with Tabac Extreme, but I can very well imagine that lovers of distinctive, unconventional tobacco scents will find great satisfaction here.

The longevity is - typical for ATH - excellent. The sillage is just as impressive: two sprays are more than enough. The bottle appears simple but is well-crafted, with a magnetic cap that closes neatly, and an excellent sprayer that distributes fine and even mist.

Not a blind buy candidate. Definitely test beforehand!

Tabac Extreme - Extremely Unusual, Yet Extremely Brilliant

The fragrance starts off very powerfully with a bitter, damp-earthy tobacco. The pipe has been packed, but only prepared, waiting for the fire to eventually bring it to smoke. In the background, sweet-fruity notes are perceptible, which fit perfectly into the composition and create a beautiful, rounded overall picture with the tobacco. The fruity notes are indeed complexly intertwined and hard to categorize. I actually perceive more of a dark, liqueur-like, but not overly sweet plum rather than cherry, unlike most reviews where the cherry is more central. As it develops, it remains rather linear until in the drydown a slight ginger note occasionally flashes through.

The fragrance gradually becomes warmer over time, with vanilla and incense pushing through from below. The pipe has just been ignited. However, the pipe will never truly burn. After 16 hours, it is still slightly balsamic on the skin.

It is consistently very present but not intrusive. Perfectly suited for autumn.
It is not a scent for beginners, nothing that everyone will like, but also nothing that clashes too much, just unusual. For some, it will certainly be challenging. Those expecting a primarily sweet fragrance are in the wrong place. All in all, a very rounded, beautiful scent with an edge and definitely worth a test, especially if you are a fan of masculine character fragrances.

The Moist Cherry/Ginger Tobacco

Hello my dear,

To start, I can definitely say that it is a very great scent and that it is worth a sniff!

You can debate about the bottle, but I would overall say that it is a high-quality Louis Vuitton bottle.

Now to the scent, it starts quite quickly, as the name suggests, with tobacco, but not in the way one might immediately imagine, rather with a certain sweetness.
Following that, ginger and cherry come into play (in the background).

As it develops, I would say that it hardly changes or only partially, and when it does change, the ginger alternates with the cherry.

Now, I noticed during the dry down that it smells like a vanilla cigar.

In general, I would consider it a very authentic, moist ginger tobacco that bears similarities to "Naxos | XerJoff".

H/S brutal and max 2 sprays!!!

Thank you very much and definitely give it a try.

Not gonna lie this is the most realistic tobacco note I’ve ever smelled and I own several tobacco forward scents. I really like this.

Very (too?) sweet opening with the cherry but the dry-down is beautiful and stay with you all day.

Sweet, moist tobacco, accompanied by a sweet cherry/plum. Very demanding. Dense, deep, masculine - a clear recommendation for any tobacco fan.

Challenging, very niche, extreme. Overwhelming for my nose
The name says it all! Cuban cigar tobacco in a gangster boss's secret room.

At first, it's really strong tobacco, but after about half an hour, it becomes much smoother. H/S is great - you just have to get through the beginning, then it's wonderful!
