Vulcan EDC Review
Kanebo created a textbook of East Asian male scents. That's Vulcan. For decades, numerous companies have imitated Vulcan, so everything called 'Father's fragrance' (soaps, shampoos, shaving creams, hair products, deodorants and etc) comes from this.

Since EDT was probably discontinued, I bought a 180ml EDC for about $ 40. It's a neat, gentle musk similar to Kiehl's Musk. It opens with very little flower hints and closes with a combination of vanilla-smooth tonka and sandalwood. It looks very typical today, but it still has the comforts I'm used to. It's much weaker than before and there are many better alternatives at that price, but I still love it.

the Japanese Tabac Original
So my first impression when I purchased this fragrance a few years ago during my first trip to Japan. Indeed, Tabac and Valcan share some parallels in their composition, however, Valcan is woodier and more refined than the Mäurer+Wirtz product from Stolberg (Rhld):-)

I am not aware if Valcan was ever available on the German market, I remember seeing it in the 1990s at Harrods in London at the Kanebo counter. What a shame, it would surely have found its admirers here as well.

Since I was just in Tokyo on business two weeks ago and purchased a bottle of EDT 140ml there, and various care products were also available, it seems to still be in production, presumably only for the Japanese market.
