Tobacco Flirting with Vanilla Mes Bisous 2021

This is a nice fragrance. There is just one problem. It lacks identity, because it smells identical to Initio Side Effect. From the start, I pictured that square eggplant colored bottle in my head because it is practically a clone. I don't have Side Effect in my possession to do a side my side comparison, because there may be subtle differences. However, Side Effect came to mind without having to view the "smells similar" section of this page. I'm mostly picking up a warm, spicy and hazy cinnamon infused tobacco. Distinct, but too familiar.

A flirt.
Fast, fleeting, between two diametrically opposed personalities.
A game in which the cherry is perceived, slightly fizzy, with its sensual and rich aspects, giving space to the true encounter: the one between vanilla and tobacco.
A light vanilla, a soft tobacco.
Two very different notes that blend together, each giving up its own characteristics, let it be clear for a short time, because we are talking about flirting.
A beautiful interpretation of the union of tobacco and vanilla, always wearable, versatile and elegant.

This smells so much like Side Effect in everything but the sweet part of this, where that one has more of this Rum / Cherry smell...this is very vanilla. Everything supporting that vanilla note is identical to Side Effect to me.

This is really, really good. I would say it's more feminine leaning..if you were looking for a more feminine version of a Tobacco Vanille Eau de Parfum then this is for you. There isn't a lot of Tobacco here...just like there isn't much in Side Effect, but nothing synthetic or nauseating about this vanilla.

For anyone who loves Side Effect, you will love this too.

Tobacco Flirting With Vanilla, first of all, an interesting and above all tempting name chosen for me. This fragrance intrigued me so much that I had to get it.
After a long back and forth and some difficulties with the delivery, it finally arrived at my place one day.
I must admit that the wait was worth it for me.
I like this scent!

I have read comparisons with Side Effect. For my taste, I cannot fully share this opinion, but I can certainly understand it to some extent.
Here in Tobacco Flirting With Vanilla, we also have that warmth, that sweetness, the vanilla, the cinnamon, and the tobacco.
Nevertheless, there are noticeable differences for me. In Side Effect, for some reason, I experienced a rosy impression in the first phase of the scent, which I never get here.
Furthermore, Initio had this great rum accord, which is completely missing in Mes Bisous.
Instead, we have a slightly more intense cherry here. While there was no cherry listed in the pyramid for Side Effect, there was still a slightly cherry-like impression. Otherwise, the rest is similarly structured.

I find that Tobacco Flirting With Vanilla opens with a beautifully nice cherry-tobacco mix.
In addition, there is this fine cinnamon accord, and in the background, there is something slightly floral to be felt. Lilac naturally supports the cherry a bit more, as well as the cinnamon.
Lilac always goes well with these two notes.
Then the vanilla also comes through nicely.
Towards the end, this fruity impression of the cherry completely disappears, and for me, it is mainly dominated by something spicy, tobacco, and a certain sweetness.

I perceive this fragrance as warm, sensual, and seductive. Moreover, this perfume is definitely unisex.
It also brings compliments.

The first phase of the fragrance is by far my favorite.
If these impressions lasted longer, I would even rate it higher.
You can tell I like it.

Unfortunately, I find the performance a bit negative. Especially the projection I find could be improved. This scent could have a bit more power and radiate more.

Nevertheless, the DNA simply convinces me!
