Unfortunately Pipe Tobacco

I recently sprayed the scent at Douglas in Dresden...

My first impression was unfortunately disappointing, as I primarily smelled pipe tobacco and I'm not a huge fan of it. It's not bad, but I had mentally prepared for the scent of delicious, freshly rolled cigarillos.

So I put on my jacket and continued to look around, actually having already written off the scent! But about 1-2 hours later, the tobacco faded more into the background and vanilla and honey came forward, quite sweet but not sticky sweet, simply fantastically good!! I couldn't get my nose off my arm. In the dry down, cocoa becomes more pronounced and it ends with it...

Definitely a 100% scent, but for me personally "only" 90%, as the pipe tobacco opening makes the scent feel a bit too old-fashioned for me... it's still delicious, but it does remind me a bit of grandpas. I would have much preferred to smell fresh cigarillos! But if you also like pipe tobacco, the scent is absolutely perfect!!

Well, with a name like "Tobacco Vanille," I personally would have expected pipe tobacco too. ;-) Consolation prize.

I find pipe tobacco itself dreamy, but unfortunately, I haven't found it in any perfume yet. I thought it was terrible on me; I have a similar plum liqueur association as Jens. What a shame...

If it would even remotely develop tobacco on my skin, but nothing of that is noticeable. Just a plum schnapps aroma, and that was disgusting back then. Nice that it delivers what it promises for you. ;)
