Tobacco Kaleidoscope

First of all - I am still on the hunt for a tobacco scent that truly speaks to me. So far everything has been too sweet - I just can't get along with Naxos and the like.

So - according to reviews and my love for Amouage, I had high hopes.

At first - for me - it was 1 to 1 shisha tobacco. Anyone who has experienced that knows what I mean. For me - pure nostalgia.

Then it changes completely, green notes - cooking spices like cardamom and unmistakable anise/licorice. Super interesting - hope rises.

The beginning and middle then compete with each other for me for 2/3 hours - it's fun.

After that, I get another 3 hours of simply sweet vanilla cigars. Moods or something similar. Many will surely like it - unfortunately, it's not for me.

Super unique, super creative - but the search continues for me at least.

I was also looking for a long time - check out: Abdul Samad Al Qurashi - Tobacco Body Oud. Spicy, smoky, with little sweetness.

Hmm, I really like the smell of authentic tobacco, but it seems like there's a lot more going on here that could bother me. Enjoyed reading!

My favorite scent with tobacco:
Oud Seven by Matiiere Premiere (unfortunately currently only at Harrods - or sometimes here in the Souk).
