Confusion cleared, riddle solved - happy!

It has been discussed here many times. Which of the fragrances from the seemingly endless product range is the original formulation from the 50s....
I know it now.
But how did I suddenly come to test Tabac Original? Well, quite simply. It is the scent of my father, my childhood. And I loved it. So both. My father and the scent. For a long time, I hadn't made any attempts to test Tabac. And that’s because my mother told me several times that it was no longer the perfume my dad wore. Too much has changed...... And she is right. But: It still exists! The scent that I know and love. I now know what my mother did wrong. She, just like I did recently, smelled the Eau de Toilette. And that is really not Tabac. It is almost just a hint, a breeze. One could almost think that I am not perceiving it properly...... No, that is not my Tabac. None of the prominence, the sharpness, the spiciness, the depth. None of that incomparable classic scent. Of this jewel.
Well, how can I then say that the original Tabac scent still exists? You already know.....:-) Because I owe it to YOU that I rediscovered it. It’s quite simple - reach for the Cologne and leave the Eau de Toilette aside. Or even the After Shave, if you prefer something lighter. I must confess, I NEVER would have thought that. Without you, I would have continued to stumble in the dark. As a fan of intense scents and long-lasting fragrances, I really would not have chosen a Cologne over an Eau de Toilette on my own. But you are RIGHT. THIS is TABAC ORIGINAL! That’s how my father smelled. Simply wonderful. Here it is again, the depth. Rich and classic, elegant and extravagant at the same time. I am really happy and have fallen in love again immediately. The Cologne simply outshines the Eau de Toilette! Tabac Original is unjustly categorized in the cheap range of drugstores. It easily competes with the most expensive perfumes. Tabac is a classic and will always remain one. It clearly has the potential to be a signature scent! Thank you.

My dad wore this too. A really great scent for "real men." In my opinion, it's worth much more and often unfairly lives a life as a drugstore fragrance on the lower shelves.

It also reminds me of my father. I think I should get myself a little bottle too.
