The only perfume I've ever physically gagged from

I don't know what it is about this but it actually triggered a gag reflex. Something in the opening is so so sharp and pungent with this one.

After a few mins it calms down a bit and no longer makes me gag when smelling it...but it's still not particularly good. It has a strong fruity fig note to it, mixed with what feels like a wet tobacco...like take the tobacco leaf of a cigar before you roll it, and dip it in some fig juice...that's what I'm getting. Mix with a bit of oud and it gives off a very old lady vibe.

5-10 mins later some of the heavy sweetness fades and you're left with what smells like a Swisher Sweet..but with something dank in there, the oud. Take that Swisher Sweet and dunk it into what I would imagine a cough syrup from the 1930's would smell like, almost a menthol quality to it.

There is no location on earth where this is a safe blind buy, don't expect to be getting compliments and absolutely do not wear this to any sort of office or work setting.

Disappointed with this one after having read a lot about it.

Yes, tobacco.... but mainly oud.

I was expecting a serious and very dominant tobacco smell, but it seems to me that the oud continues to carry a lot of weight (for me, mainly) as in all of Dimitri's creations.
In this case, the range of ouds is not on the "balsamic" side (Oud Loukoum) or on the almost butyric smell of cheese (Oud Maximus) but, despite not reaching the sweetness of Sans Fleurs with so much vanilla, he would stay in a place similar to his new Lao Oud.
If in Sayat Nova the so-called "peach" is added to that type of oud smell, here the nuance is tobacco.
It is a perfume that would make me feel comfortable and cozy like fireplaces, winter-autumnal for my taste and rather masculine.
A fairly good performance for a natural aroma, especially in lasting, it can be around 6-8 hours on the skin at least, although silage/projection is no too much after the first hour.

Bortnikoff / Tabac Doré

Who loves and is still looking for great tobacco mixed with the scent of wood and spices (we have here, for example, red pepper and cinnamon), this scent is a must check ... for me a must have - that's my opinion.
The opening of this latest gagatka from Mr. Bortnikoff (Golden Tobacco) is peppery-cinnamon. In a moment he is riding a white horse in the spotlight - TOBACCO. The dry leaves of the beautiful and essential tobacco sharply give the nostrils an accompaniment of wood, agar and resins. Tobacco, on the other hand, is a bit thinner thanks to the mines of figa and resins with a hint of vanilla. The smell is also smoking ... so get ready for a quite unique aura. Duration approx. 8 hours, projection is good / moderate (on my body). As for me - I recommend to people as above.

You can read more below from the English-language websites:

'The precious tobacco absolute that was used in the Tabac Dore composition contains over 300 ingredients that create a deep and unique tobacco flavor; mysterious and exotic that relaxes and gives confidence. Another important ingredient in Tabac Doré is wild oud from Thailand and Vietnam.' Wild 'is the best word to describe the scent of this thick, dark blend of oils that has no analogues in the perfumery world. Decorated with vanilla absolute, lotions and resins, these two main ingredients will immerse you in the noble luxury of the Orient'

'In both history and perfumery, tobacco carries a captivating duality. On the one hand it is an ancient form of communing with spirits - rich, smoky, earthy and deeply ethereal. Fortunately, Bortnikoff fragrances have always celebrated all of the exquisite natural materials they have used, so we are pleased to present Tabac Dore, a solid and regal tobacco fragrance that both attracts attention with its power and presence, and soothes the soul with its depth and beauty.

Tabac Dore opens with a spark of pink peppercorns and cinnamon on top of a rich depth of green, creamy fig - not the rich, syrupy dried fruit we've experienced in other Bortnikoff fragrances like Sayat Nova, but something fresher and more natural. The tobacco is immediately present, dry, spicy, fresh and diffused, as if it had entered a humidor. As the rich, warm resins gain strength, the tobacco changes with them, now taking on a darker, smokier tone. Unique wild oud from Thailand and Vietnam lends the scent of leather sensuality that blends luxuriously with a rich balsamic base, leading the tobacco notes to the finish in a warm, woody drydown that lasts for hours. Bortnikoff and tobacco have always been a combination doomed to greatness, and Tabac Dore fulfills this promise with a majestic panache '

Tabac Dore smells luxurious. The opening is brilIiant, wish it lasted longer than 10 min. I don't get much sweetness here, not in the opening. Tobacco is dominant here and stays throughout its life. Very realistic tobacco. Picking up lots of cinnamon and peru balsam. I get strong projection about 7-8 hours.

Fruity tobacco, perfected

Tabac Doré is what fragrances like Triumph of Bacchus Eau de Parfum and Red Tobacco wish they were. Here, there are no overwhelming cloying sweet notes, or synthetic flattened tobacco. The tobacco note in Tabac Doré is divine. Previously I thought that Tabac 28's tobacco note was the most realistic cigar/tobacco leaf smell, but I think here it's done even better. Tabac 28 is pretty much a one-accord fragrance but in Tabac Doré, the tobacco accord is combined with at least two others that I can make out, the fruity fig note in the opening, and a wonderful oud amber in the base.

Unlike a lot of tobacco fragrances, the sweetness is kept to a minimum. While the fig note dominates the opening, as soon as it settles, it is merely a supporting note that accentuates the tobacco and completes the oud. This is definitely my style of tobacco scent.

The drydown is a dusty woody smell, like the scent of an old cigar box after its contents have been emptied. Exquisitely done from top to bottom; supremely elegant in its subtlety.

EDIT: Subtle is right. After a few wearings, I'm realizing that the performance is not very good on this one. Projects for ~1 hour and lasts maybe 4 if you're lucky. I sprayed it like an EDT last time (8 sprays) and still wasn't performing well enough for me.
