Tabac Nomade

House of Houbigant, Tabac Nomade. WOW. Amazing.

Not just tabac nomade, but almost all of Houbigant's perfumes are amazing, they are not ''just'' fragrances. These fragrances take you away, far away to someplace magical.

Tabac Nomade is an wonderful fall and winter fragrance. It has some warm notes which makes it possible to use on dates. The opening of the fragrance is warm, sweet and a little bit smokey in my opinion. Which I have no idea where the smokeyness is coming from, it can also be described as powdery, this might be the spices or tobacco. I really have no idea. The next thing that catches my nose is the tobacco, vanille and leather combination in this fragrance. These three notes are greatly balanced which gives off a unique and marvellous scent. None of the notes are overwhelming or overpowering the other notes. The strongest one of them is vanille, but it is not too strong, 40/30/30 balance.

Now some words of the fragrance in action. About a month ago a friend of mine hosted a party, to which I wore this fragrance. A few people complimented me at the start of the night, but as the night went on, people drunk some more and smoked more which makes it harder to smell a fragrance. The longetivity of the fragrance needs some attention aswell. I sprayed 5 sprays on at about 20:00, before the party, two on my skin, three on my shirt. The next morning just as I went into the shower, I turned around to grab a towel and there it was. About 15 hours later, the smell of Tabac Nomade, unfortunately I got a bit of a headache because the smell was so overwhelming. However, the fragrance sits, it sits great.

A Perfume with an Attractive Composition

WOW , Amazing Fragrance ! Elegant, Classy, Spicy, Airy, Modern and Complex. You can't go wrong with it, I tried it in store and I received a sample of that. This perfume has High Quality Composition and Well-blended. Tabac Nomade was on my Radar and I bought it after two weeks. I fell in love with it at first sniff. It opens up with slightly sweet creamy citrusy, fruity, floral rose and spices notes in the background then dry down is semi sweet Vanilla, Tobacco , Ambery and Leathery . This is perfect for the Spring, Fall and Winter, Longevity is very good. The Leather, Rose ,Tobacco Leaf and Vanilla notes are dominant in this perfume. Highly Recommended.
Two Thumbs Up.
Bravo Houbigant !

Houbigant - welcome back

After smelling Fougere Royale for the first time, I realized that Houbigant is not your typical perfume house.

The class and beautiful complexity of the scents, leaves you wanting more.
More is what they have come up with, Ambre des Abysses is absolutely stunning and Tabac Nomade, is a spicy, sweet, aromatic type of scent which you can only experience with Tobacolor from DIOR and nothing else.

I got a sample from Jovoy to try them and I am very impressed, this will last long and also will garner you a bunch of compliments. Enjoy the video :) Merci !

Creaminess in Perfection

Even the opening of this fragrance gives the moment a certain contemplativeness and makes time seem to stand still.

This perfume is clearly dominated by bright, soft leather and vanilla/tonka bean. Light florals and spices add some depth but overall do not stand out strongly. In total, we simply have a cloud of creaminess and a flattering sweetness that surrounds us.

I would have wished for a touch more strength (e.g. oud, wood), but still, the fragrance is truly beautiful and well-crafted!

A Successful Balancing Act

Tabac Nomad is an extraordinary fragrance - fascinating, addictive, and very potent.
However, it is also a balancing act - its opulence is almost overwhelming; as attractive as it is, it can also be demanding, and it is so strong that it must be applied in moderation.
In my eyes, this tightrope walk is successful.
For me, it is the best tobacco scent I know.
The DNA is not new - "Side Effect | Initio," for example, also combines tobacco with saffron, vanilla, and tipsy fruits.
But Tabac Nomad adds something to this olfactory seduction - it is not just this almost gourmand-like, sweet attraction that emanates from it, but it also has a wickedness from the warm leather, a masculinity from its dark spice, and a classic touch from its rose, making it much more complex and particularly more mature. In this respect, it fits the house of Houbigant, although it is quite an unusually modern release for them and, with its sex appeal, does not quite belong to the otherwise largely classic-clean portfolio.
The aforementioned scent balancing act also makes it attractive across generations - in the complex mélange, young (fruit, sweetness) and older noses (tobacco, rose) will find something they will enjoy. However, it also makes the fragrance less universally wearable - the fruity tipsiness clashes with the concentrated office routine, and the dark spice with a cheerful family day trip: It is a fragrance for long evenings at the bar, for a sociable gathering of gentlemen, or for special occasions like a visit to the opera, a birthday celebration, a romantic date, or similar. But the fragrance is certainly not for everyday wear.

A little note on the tobacco note: It is not an ashy, smoky cigarette tobacco. It is more like the dried, unlit tobacco leaf. This has been flavored, almost like pipe tobacco in a tin, which one enjoys sniffing, even if one might not actually smoke the pipe in the end.

Finally, as a supplement, it must be mentioned that the mother of this fragrance direction was originally "Tobacco Vanille (Eau de Parfum) | Tom Ford," and respect must be paid to this creative novelty that advanced the niche significantly. Compared to this, Tabac Nomad is, on one hand, more tolerable as it is less sweet, and at the same time, more multifaceted and also more natural - thus, for me, in the overall view, simply of higher quality.
