Tobacco Brooklyn Soap Company

Imagine this. You had some sips of cheap Rum while smoking on your balcony. It was raining, you had to leave your place in a hurry and forgot your coup with Rum and half-smoked cigar on your balcony during the weekend. Then it's Monday, and you pick it up for cleaning. What is inside the coup looks like a terrible liquid with rain water, Rum, and wet cigar. That's what it smells like.

"Tobacco note" could easily be replaced by the description above. It's a very unfortunate experience. But this is the life of the adventure in the world of fragrances. You try, you discover, you find what you like, and you find what will never make into your collection.

The experience was so sickening that I almost gave up trying the other samples from this house.
