The Confident Alpha Lone Wolf

After I fell for OL16 by Tom Ford, Tuscan Leather, and also Oud Wood back then, I had decided after extensive research that I was no longer willing to spend so much money on perfumes.
Alternatives like Rasasi LaYuqawam showed me that you can have great scents for half the price.

However, my common sense did not account for the fact that I would discover Tobacco Oud.
And at an unbeatable price. I couldn't help it, I had to have it, because this scent, as much as it initially repelled me on the testing paper, I fell in love with it on my skin.

A fragrance that I don't need to describe further, as it has been extensively covered by other colleagues.
Yes, it smells like tobacco, yes, it has a bit of a funk (at first). Yes, Oud is weakly represented, yes, you can perceive the amber and the whisky strongly at the beginning.
I. WANTED. IT.

This fragrance is not a "I want to please everybody" scent.
No. You have to wear this fragrance with confidence. With a good dose of "I don’t give a F*ck".
Either the people around you will love the scent on you, or they will hate it.
And no matter which way it goes, you should be completely indifferent to what others think of the fragrance.
Yes, such an attitude is needed for Tobacco Oud.
A scent like a real man, straight out of the textbook. Almost cliché for a man.
None of those soft, pampered pretty boys with full-body hair removal.
This fragrance requires a certain sprezzatura. Confidence 11/10 is definitely a prerequisite.
TO is for a man who sits in a suit, smoking a cigar and drinking whisky in a lounge.
Or one who rolls up to Wall Street on his new Harley wearing a black Saint Laurent leather jacket.
A CEO scent as some write here. Yes. But not an ordinary CEO. Not a CEO in professional life. A CEO in private life. A leader who exudes that alpha leadership quality. Just an alpha lone wolf who is not influenced by the opinions of others.
But definitely not for the classic show-off who wants to impress everyone and is always in the spotlight.

That's what kind of scent this is, controversial, not an everybody-pleaser.
But it doesn't want to be either.
Gloomy, dirty, smoky, controversial, just damn awesome.

Yes, that doesn't make you everyone's darling, but who wants that anyway?

You can layer Tom Ford fragrances.

UPDATE
After 2 weeks, I can happily report:

I've never received so many compliments from women about how fantastic I smell as I have while wearing Tobacco Oud.
This scent is addictive, and it was definitely the right choice to buy 100ml right away.

UPDATE 2:
I bought Plum Japonais today as well.
6 sprays of Tobacco Oud, 1-2 spritzes of Plum Japonais, and this layering is absolutely insane!

Ah, I like it too. Despite the masculinity and oud. But everyone around me keeps telling me to stay away from it.
