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.

Tabac Extreme - Extremely unusual, yet extremely ingenious

The fragrance starts very powerfully with tangy, wet-earthy tobacco. Although the pipe has been plugged, it has only been prepared and is waiting for the fire to get it smoking at some point. Sweet, fruity notes can be detected in the background, which fit perfectly into the composition and, together with the tobacco, create a beautiful, rounded overall picture. The fruity notes are quite complexly interwoven and difficult to categorize. I actually perceive more of a dark, liqueur-like, but not too sweet plum than cherry, unlike most reviews in which the cherry tends to take center stage. As it progresses, it is then more linear until a slight ginger note flashes up again and again in the drydown.

The fragrance slowly becomes warmer over time, with vanilla and incense coming through from below. The pipe has just been lit. But the pipe will never really burn. After 16 hours, it is still slightly balsamic on the skin.

It is very present throughout but not overpowering. Super suitable for the fall.
It is not a fragrance for beginners, nothing that everyone will like, but also nothing that offends too much, simply unusual. But it is certainly challenging for some people. If you are expecting a primarily sweet fragrance, you are in the wrong place. All in all, a very well-rounded, beautiful fragrance with edge and definitely worth a test, especially if you are a fan of masculine character fragrances.

Cold tobacco and hot cherry lollipops - an olfactory borderline experience

Imagine an abandoned vaulted cellar: cool, damp, slightly dusky. The walls of old stone breathe silence, and there is a heavy, dark scent in the air: cold, wet tobacco. No smoke, no embers, no association 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 tart and serious, like a deep pause.

A cherry note is added almost immediately. But it also surprises. Not juicy, not fruity and not liqueur-like, as with other fragrances. More like a cherry lollipop. Sweet, slightly artificial, and yet somehow matching the dark, cool tobacco. The plum remains in the shadow of this cherry. Only perceptible if you look for it specifically, almost like a blurred echo.

A subtle but persistent spiciness builds up in the background. It is reminiscent of freshly grated ginger - sharp, citrusy, almost biting - as if it were adding little flashes of light to the otherwise dark fragrance. No animalistic oud tones, no leather, no dirtiness. Instead, a clear, angular structure.

After a while, the picture changes slightly. The tobacco remains present, but now a gentle warmth enters: vanilla. But not creamy or gourmand, but rather dry, almost dusty, like fine vanilla powder covering the tobacco. The patchouli also blends in and gives the fragrance a grounded depth. Throughout the fragrance journey, the incense is just a distant, barely tangible flicker that adds more texture than scent.

Tabac Extreme is not a fragrance for a mild everyday mood. It is demanding, cool, unusual and fascinating precisely because of this. Anyone looking for tobacco in its wet, serious form, without smoke, without shisha sweetness, will find it here. The cherry is deliberately artificial, like a deliberate break in style. The ginger adds spice. Vanilla and patchouli provide depth. And somewhere in between, a barely audible hint of incense. Not a cuddly fragrance. Not mainstream. But a statement in fragrance form.

Tabac Extreme is not quite to my personal taste, but I can well imagine that lovers of striking, unconventional tobacco fragrances will get their money's worth here.

The longevity is - as is typical for ATH - excellent. As is the sillage: two sprays are enough. The bottle has a simple but high-quality finish, with a magnetic lid that closes neatly and an excellent atomizer that sprays finely and evenly.

Not a blind buy candidate. Be sure to test it first!

The moist cherry/ginger tobacco

Hello my dear ones,

First of all, I can definitely say that it is a very great fragrance and that it is worth a sniff!

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

Now to the fragrance, which starts quite quickly, as the name suggests, with tobacco, but not in the way you would imagine, but with a certain sweetness.
This is followed by ginger and cherry (background).

In the further course I would say that it hardly changes or only partially and if it changes, then the ginger alternates with the cherry.

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

H/S brute and max 2 sprays!!!

Thank you very much and definitely try it.
