Ups & downs

In the search for an authentic tobacco scent, there were unfortunately more lows than highs in recent months. That is, some blind purchases and tons of samples and bottlings that are now, due to displeasure in the drawer. In my defense, I have to mention that I usually dabble in the realms of rose and oud. Thus a certain ignorance is not to be excluded. Certainly there are plenty of perfumers who can recreate authentic tobacco chords 1:1. However, I didn't want tobacco drowned in honey, or wrapped around cinnamon sticks and gingerbread spices. Nor did the sensation of licking out an ashtray match my idea of a pleasurable and comforting tobacco scent.

Perhaps it is useful at this point to explain what I mean by an authentic tobacco scent in the first place and what memories and feelings it is supposed to evoke.

I lived in India for 6 years. The country is known for its tobacco cultivation and not only on a large scale. In the countryside, many families have small tobacco plantations behind their houses. The tobacco is harvested by hand, tied together and placed in the sun to dry. It is a truly olfactory experience to pick up the tobacco leaves, dried by the Indian sun, after a few days and hold them under your nose. This interplay of warm, smoky, spicy and even fresh notes make me feel relaxed and contribute to my well-being.

Tobacolor is exactly that. Fresh and slightly smoky tobacco dominates here but in a very natural and cuddly way. Sweet subtle notes of honey and plum I perceive. Everything in harmony, perfectly coordinated. A feel-good scent from the first minute. This time the blind purchase was worth it.

Very impressed!

The peach fear

Yay a new Maison Christian Dior but what is it? Peach? Oh nooo...
Those were my first thoughts when I read the fragrance notes. So I had almost written off the fragrance. Not because I don't like the fragrance notes, but because it usually makes fragrances too feminine for me. However, I really love tobacco and honey in fragrances. There it is again, I thought to myself, the dichotomy should I order the fragrance or rather keep my hands off. Well, ultimately, the curiosity usually wins, so also in this case and I have let myself be carried away to order the fragrance immediately when appear.
After I have worn the fragrance now several times I would like to take you now a bit and tell you how I perceived the fragrance. The fragrance starts with a smoky tobacco note wrapped in a pleasant sweetness, which it turns out after a short time clearly as honey. The fragrance develops in the course of the fragrance in an even sweeter direction, for this provides the plum, which plays a much larger role in this fragrance as initially suspected. This gives the fragrance a nice fruity note.
Now one or the other may wonder what is now with the peach, I also wonder. I perceive him (fortunately XD) only very subtly in combination with the plum.
With the performance's also nothing to complain about, which is me as a Franke already a clear compliment. I perceive Tobacolor up to 7 hours on the skin, on the clothes I still perceive a good bit longer. The sillage is Maison Christian Dior typical rather close to the skin but do not worry Tobacolor does not hide now again.
Overall, a very good and round new release.

Autumn colors

Light blond tobacco
golden yellow peaches
purple plums
brown-golden honey
ochre fields
The colors of autumn, applied impasto with broad brushstrokes, that's how I feel "Tobacolor" on my skin.

François Demachy reached deep into nature's paintbox for Christian Dior and thus painted an autumn picture in fragrance: atypical and unexpected, but I like the result.
Maybe it's because I was friends with a pipe smoker for many years; I liked that aromatic comfort that came from smoking like that.

Therefore, to me, "Tobacolor" is not alienating, but rather the image of autumn, the time of harvest.
In the large manor house kitchen, the large bundles of light blond tobacco are drying; they hang from large hooks just below the ceiling.
On the old brick hearth, jams and stewed fruit bubble in big copper pots: peaches and plums ripened in quantities this year and are now being boiled down for winter.
On the kiln the fruit lies sliced and halved; it will take time to dry.
The air is heavy with the warmth of the kiln and the rich, not-too-sweet scents of fruit; the golden honey used to refine it does its part: the wisps of scent grow denser, and so perfume the bright tobacco.
It, too, is a very special crop, and will later exude that fruitiness, in the fragrant aroma of which it now sways quietly to and fro.
Smoke from the fields keeps drifting through the wide-open windows; there the stubble is being flamed away - it's autumn!

"Tobacolor" is for me a rich, aromatic autumn scent, a kind of "harvest festival" for the senses.
Everything about it is as if bathed in soft autumn light, yet glows with rich colors.
I like this new creation, its smoky spiciness that clings to my skin like lightly warmed perfumed honey and seems to give it a golden glow of fragrance.

Even if summer is just beginning: Christian Dior or Monsieur Demachy give me the "golden autumn" and I am already looking forward to it!

Honey with pipe tobacco?

Got the fragrance as an addition (many thanks to "Cafenoir") and had to lead me of course directly full of curiosity to mind.

Sprayed on, took a deep breath and directly shot me an image of deep golden noble wild honey in the head, where the light mystically through the glass seems. Similar to the Shankara stones in Indiana Jones.

Continuing the olfactory journey, a tin of very noble pipe tobacco opened up before me. But not the kind of rough sailor's weed you'd expect on stormy days on the coast. Instead, an excellent flake, as any pipe lover in his cashmere cardigan would stuff into his favorite pipe with a joyful expression and inner balanced peace of mind. Wonderfully juicy and aromatic at the same time. Rounded off by a very pleasant peach note. Also the smoky character is very warm without triggering pungent unrest.

The durability is top and it was for me once again one of the fragrances I liked right away at the first spray. My partner also liked him immediately, which surprised me but very much because I have already counted on the comment "grandpa fragrance". I can imagine that it is not everyone's cup of tea due to its very special character. For me, a candidate that must be in my collection, because he simply triggers well-being.

Warm, gentle and infinitely beautiful :o)))))

Somewhere in the distant Omani south, the sun sinks in the evening and the sky glows dark red, golden brown, ocher, amber - amethyst colors and cultured men in elegant white caftans sit next to hand-sewn saddle leather of their faithful Arabian stallions lying in the sand in golden dunes together at the campfire and smoke; they tell each other stories from glorious times past, from 1001 nights and a warm, elegant, incense-like tobacco scent, dipped in honey-fruity notes, glides gently through the warm evening air - and the night falls and you are infinitely happy. This fragrance is a classic --- and the durability and sillage are above average ---- and even nicer the next day. Merci Monsieur Francois Demachy :o))))) Masterpiece :o)))))) 12 stars ********************!!
