Tobacco Vanille Tom Ford 2007 Eau de Parfum

Do you know these people? Well - you probably are yourselves by now. A friend of mine gave me samples after we talked about fragrances once. And one of these samples was a small bottling - probably about 1-2ml - of tobacco vanilla. I do not want to question his motives... But he must have known it! If you ever sniff a scent like this, you are trapped. When you go to your own cheap stuff, the thought always remains: This scent from this friend is so incredibly cool. And suffer then the decision for the next niche fragrance was made, and suddenly you develop your own taste, and suddenly you feel situations where one fragrance fits more than the other, and it must always be right - at the same time you are looking for the next new experience, which leads to an explosion of your own emotional world, because you simply experience something completely new and in your own way perfect. Thank you perfume addiction. Thank you, you friend who gave me this sample. You have cost me so much money and I do not regret a single cent so far. ;-)

At first I was a little overwhelmed by the sweetness, but now I experience this fragrance as an extremely elegant scent. Meanwhile, I have tried some tobacco scents and vanilla gourmand scents, but I always come back to this scent. And unfortunately, it still spoils it for me... if I like a scent that goes in this direction, I can't help but compare it with tobacco vanilla. Means you put the new scent on your left wrist... ...usually the new scent hits first, then vanilla on the other wrist. Sorry Bro, but I'm perfection, tell me Tobacco Vanilla then, and I'll just say: F*** you, but yes, you're right.

What strikes me is that Tobacco Vanilla is not necessarily the most interesting fragrance - it is very linear and one-dimensional for me, but for me it is at the same time unique and incredibly round. By this I mean that the components create a consistent and complete fragrance experience without being particularly sophisticated. Carefully dosed, it goes to every evening event and so far it is my Compliment Getter NO1 - by far. No fragrance has managed to provoke the words "what are you wearing, you smell good" more often than this fragrance.

At the same time, I don't feel like I'm indulging in a pure compliment getter and crowd pleaser, because this fragrance simply smells noble. And that's the point why I usually choose this scent when the situation calls for such a scent - while other tobacco and Gormand scents may well have something stifling for me, this scent is a thoroughly pleasant experience - which could also be a point of criticism, because it lacks provocation.

Whoever wears this fragrance does not want to play - he needs security, strange as it may sound. If everything has to be right on an evening, then any provocation is potentially too much, a stumbling block. Then you take a fragrance where everything is just right - and that's this one! But be careful with the Sillage, and if you do want to provoke, it can still be one more spray. ;-)
