Tobacco Vanille had been on my wish list for a long time. However, since I found the price to be very high, I initially only got the Amber Oud Dupe and was relatively satisfied with it. But now that I own the original, I have to say that Tobacco Vanille is soooo much more beautiful than the often recommended dupe. Tobacco and vanilla is such a great scent combination. Although the fragrance is not very multifaceted (just tobacco and vanilla), it is still a total banger. With the dupe, the dried fruits are too dominant for me.
I find that at the beginning, the warm tobacco in Tobacco Vanille is very dominant. Then, somewhat subtly, the dried fruits come out, which, in combination with the slowly developing vanilla and the ever-present tobacco, create a totally successful mixture. For me, this scent is definitely unisex.
The sillage and longevity are enormous. 2-3 sprays are definitely enough. In the height of summer, you probably shouldn't wear this fragrance, or if you must, spray it once in the air and then walk through it. For autumn and winter (or any temperatures up to 15 degrees), it is perfect for me.
My absolute favorite perfume from Tom Ford!
