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.

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.

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.

Tobacco Lovers Wet Dream

This is by far the Best Tobacco fragrance i have put my nose into.

Scent Profile : This full unadulterated Tobacco, both spicy and sweet at the same time. Opens with a big dose of pink pepper. Very well blended with the resins, the oud which gives this a dusty dryness and vanilla which basically softens the formula by the perfumer Dmitry Bortnikoff. The quality of raw ingredients are top notch.

Longevity & Performance : Being an Extrait, it does hang around for a long time (8+ hrs on my skin) but doesn't projects quite well.

Price : Bortnikoff is known to use very rare and exotic materials for the construction of his fragrances which enhances the cost of the final product. I think its a really well priced compared to the insane hikes in prices by other niche brands in the current market.

Recommendation : Definitely a no brainer for Tobacco lovers, But in general, Definitely sample and decide. This is a true Jewel in the fragrance community and also its my Signature Scent.

Tabac Dore

A lovely tobacco/vanille scent. Old wood, old books, aged spices. Might be too short lasting for some. For me the sillage and longevity are just fine. I'm perfectly fine being happy with the scent for a few hours. If you think there's nobody noticing it, don't worry. It's just the people who pretend to not notice the scent, because their other halves don't want them to go places that smell like this anymore.
