The better Tobacco Vanilla
At first I smell tobacco leaf with dark vanilla. The scent pyramid emphasizes "Bourbon" in the base, and in fact this scent character is very authentically reproduced here: It's not the well-known sweet and gourmand note, but rather the slightly dry, slightly bitter scent of a freshly cut vanilla pod. The dominating tobacco lets a slightly leafy note shine through every now and then, which reminds me personally of vetiver here and there. I also imagine to catch a light rum note, especially in the beginning. But the fragrance is not alcoholic or even green at all. I don't perceive a clear separation into top, heart and base notes. In the course of the fragrance, a subtle ash note is added that never dominates and gives the scent a little more depth. All in all, a lot happens on my skin at the beginning, but after that, the whole show is rather linear.
The individual olfactory notes seem to me to be authentic and very roundly coordinated. This makes the fragrance seem a little less gruff than I would like it to be. Of course, it draws clear parallels to Tom Ford's Tobacco Vanilla, but with its rather dark-dry vanilla it seems much more mysterious, darker and even a little sexy for my taste. As much as I like Tobacco Vanilla, it often awakens involuntary Grandpa associations in me. Such associations are completely out of Oud Tabac, and for the better. The ashy note reminds me of Tom Ford's Tobacco Oud. However, it remains rather in the background - as a smoker you are not misunderstood here. Nevertheless, I would have wished it to be even more present. At the end, Oud Tabac approaches a bit like Gucci Intense Oud. But it remains quite independent, as far as that is possible in this genre. He doesn't have any oudic animalism at all. All in all I miss oud here completely, which unfortunately applies to many fragrances with eaglewood in their names
That sprayer could be Creed's, easy. Meaning it'll make a big meal out of it The Sillage is pretty good for about an hour. After that the scent recedes noticeably, but remains well perceptible in the immediate surroundings. Even after 8 hours I can still smell it in motion from time to time. I have come away from Sillage bombs because they are often not very portable. For me personally, Oud Tabac therefore strikes the ideal balance - you can smell it for a long time in my vicinity, but without a cloud of scent with mace.
All in all a really high-quality, noble, mystic-timeless contemporary with good wearability and good durability with discreet sillage. For me the better Tobacco Vanilla with a hint of Tobacco Oud, which could have been even a bit more in the foreground. Meanwhile you can find it in some discounters for less than 100 € - but it is absolutely outstanding and worth every recommendation, if you like the scent genre! I wouldn't pay the original price, but the same goes for the Fords.
