Colonia Ebano with plumb and tobaco instead of ebony wood.

This is basicaly a very smart move from the great master parfumeur Francois Demachy.

Which through the skeleton of this Ebano, launched 4 years later, the much praised Dior Tobacolor.
In essence, the perfumes are the same, with a few minor differences:

Tobacolor is centered more on an amber vanilla and a plum-tobacco accord.
While Ebano, on the ebony wood. Both have in common the amber skeleton, labdanum and especially honey, which is the fundamental central element in both perfumes.

Both perfumes take on sticky-resinous undertones, due to the presence of resins and bee honey. However, tobacolor is slightly smokier.
Overall, Demachy has released some masterpieces that deserve their value.
Price-quality ratio - excellent
Generous longevity and beautiful sillage.
I recommend both, especially for a pertinent test!

One of my favourite perfumes of all time!

Wow what a fragrance - opens with sweet, plum, rum and dries slowly down to more smoky tobacco.
Never becomes harsh smoky always maintains a slight sweetness and booziness. So seductive.
Projects like crazy and lasts forever. Will leave a scent trail everywhere you go.
One of my favourite fragrances.

Sweet tobacco

This has been one of the fragrances I've loved lately, the most beautiful tobacco ever.
A surprising trail around the paradox of a cold hookah. I wrapped the smokiness of tobacco with sweet, fruity and warm, joyful notes. A contrasting fragrance, a hot and cold blend that combines the embers of a hookah with fresh and fruity plum and peach. Very sweet and syrupy, like macerated fruit drizzled with honey and surrounded by hot holiday spices and every aspect of pipe tobacco, hay, ash, shisha, herbs and smoke.

Warm rich autumn colours + a play of light and darkness.

Usually I am not too much attracted towards Dior in general, but today I was trying some perfumes and this one was one of the better things I have tested today.

Well, the opening is full of tobacco and more masculine to me. Then it becomes sweeter with more honey to me. Then it has a fruity phase very plummy and spices, it remembers me a little like Feminity du bois but with tobacco, the tobacco note is the continous note to me in the whole story. Then it is more a boozy peach, it is more and more feminine. I usually dislikes fruity perfumes, except plum and peach, so this is very much in my allay. As I finish writing this long review, now it is more true unisex, mor a soft green tobacco with some sweet spices.

I must say it is not my favourite tobacco perfume ( I think I like Diptyque Volutes more and even Tobacco Vanille), but it is very beatiful and I am addicted to smelling my wrist. The performance is very good, although I am someone who wears Francesca Bianchi and I like stronger niche perfumes, the other women with me who smelled hate this one for being too much strong xD so I am not the most reliable reviewer here... But one of the qualities I like more about Tobacolor is that it is potent but soft at the same time, without being too much. Everything is in harmony here, like I read in another review.

It has a touch of dirtiness from the smokey notes but for is more like burned honey.

The texture is very silky and ethereal to me.

When I spried a perfume I always see colours and imagine textures. The colours here are brown gold and very warm and rich autumnal colours but with a translucent property and a game of darkness and light, I like this contrast.

It is a perfume for people who likes dark, oriental, sweet and boozy strong perfumes and you have to like tobacco as a note, of course.

All things into account I feel that this perfume should be in the more comercial line and not the expensive and niche one. It is beautiful but it lacks a little in charisma like if it was trying to attract the Poison fans with very comercial and pleasant notes without being vanilla gourmand, so this should be the standard quality in designer perfumery like once used to be and not the boring watery mess. It is one of the most interesting Dior offerings to me, but also the usual now a days Dior consumer is not going to like this.

A dense amber and tobacco fragrance with some sweet notes.

François Demachy created this classic in 2021 for La Collection Privée Christian Dior. It is a prototype of the simple and elegant tobacco-amber perfumes that are abundant now. This review is a based on a sample atomizer I bought from US vendor.

The perfumer lists the notes of the Dior website in very whimsical and literary style making it difficult to guess the colors in Tobacolor. Amber, tobacco, smoke, plum and honey are the notes I glean from the description with the help of my nose. I have listed them in order of intensity, but this order is debatable.

Tobacolor opens with a strong resinous amber and tobacco combination. My nose says that the smoky resin is a burnt formulation of one or more of the typical resins, frankincense, benzoin and myrrh. I am not skilled enough to separate these resin strands in the background of a strong tobacco accord. The tobacco note is also a darker variety, different from the lighter spicy note in Guerlain Tobacco Honey or Xerjoff Naxos. The smokiness of Tobacolor is tempered by the sweetness from plum and honey. Plum and honey are there, but these are minor players compared to the resins and tobacco. Though there is plenty of sweetness in this perfume, the honey note is not vivid as in Tobacco Honey. There may also be a touch of vanilla in this perfume to strengthen the amber accord. I see little development in Tobacolor as the heart notes are same as the opening notes. The fruity note subsides in the middle stage, but every other note is still there. The same notes continue into the base notes and dry down. Tobacco, amber and a hint of honey are still clearly detectable on my skin in the end. So, I would summarize Tobacolor as a smoky amber-tobacco perfume sweetened with a hint of plum and honey. Though it shares some notes with Tobacco Honey and Naxos, Tobacolor is a very different fragrance.

Tobacolor is a strong performer on my skin. The main notes are perceptible on my skin even after ten hours. It projects well in the first few hours, and sillage is also very good. In small doses, it will work as an office perfume, but don’t overdo it. I cannot conceive of Tobacolor as a party scent, unless it is a gathering to discuss philosophy in a dark wood-paneled study.

I can recommend Tobacolor only if you are looking for a dense resinous tobacco amber fragrance. It does not have the airy, spicy sweetness of Tobacco Honey or the elegant complexity of Givenchy Enflamme. As none of these perfumes are cheap, rigorous testing and comparison are warranted before purchase.
