There are countless different perfumes that carry the same or at least a similar DNA as Tobacolor, but this one is the king.
I love this type of DNA. Tobacco with bitter honey, not too sticky, and with that Oriental touch. I love it.
Tobacolor is a scent that captures that smoky tobacco very well and gives it a special sweetness, but it is never too overwhelmingly sweet, and the honey note is not typical like in other honey perfumes. Here, everything is perfectly balanced.
Tobacolor is very well suited for unisex wear and it works anytime and anywhere. I could even wear it in the height of summer. The price is quite high, but you definitely get something in return. Beautiful timeless bottle with a magnetic cap and a great sprayer.
As I’ve already mentioned, if you like this type of DNA, then this one is the right choice. For me, Tobacolor is a solid 10/10, also in terms of H/S.
I'm glad I discovered this for myself.

Actually, I am a fan of oud fragrances and yes, the animalistic "cow stable" oud can come across very fine and good when executed correctly.
The Heritage Collection claims to use real oud. (Source: Manufacturer's website) and that is indeed the case.
Although in a very minimal amount, it is sufficient to perceive the oud here more than adequately.
The scent starts immediately with a strong oud accord.
You have to brace yourself for the opening. Definitely not for soft noses. This is quite challenging because it is indeed this cow stable oud that many do not like.
After about 20 minutes, it calms down and becomes softer and sweeter due to the amber and the "sweet notes," whatever they may be. I suspect it is a rose.
The whole spectacle lasts over 10 hours and does not let you go. H/S is already a 10/10, I won't deny that.
If you want to stand out and enjoy a stinker, then this fragrance is truly a bargain for you. Considering how well the accords are blended, no one would sniff out a "cheapy." The oud is well balanced and well integrated. The prerequisite is that you already have a good oud experience to give this fragrance a fair chance.
I would not recommend this fragrance for newcomers to the perfume world. It will deter you.
My bottle had to go because my absolute favorite oud fragrance is Gritti Florian.
In summary:
Longevity and sillage are a 10
I would rate the scent profile more as a 6, as it is not a crowd-pleasing fragrance
The bottle and atomizer are top-notch, just like the entire series
Price-performance is also a 10 because for comparable fragrances you have to pay five times more
Typical winter/autumn scent and not suitable for clubbing.
Unisex: Not really. More masculine

The Amazonite is quite unique and challenging. You have to like something like this.
It opens with such a dark side with oud, incense, and cypriol that you don't know, "Oh, is this beautiful or just some dark something thrown together?" I find it to be the latter.
I don't know the inspired "Le Gemme - Falkar | Bvlgari," but I will definitely have to test it because I can't even begin to imagine that it resembles the OG. I will report back.
So, as I mentioned at the beginning, this fragrance is quite bold. I only perceive the dark, strong accords. This is the first fragrance where I personally associate this "burnt rubber." I haven't had that with any fragrance so far, even though I've read about it so often in countless reviews.
Dear "Amazonite | Maison Alhambra," you have succeeded. Thank you for that.
I think if you like such fragrances, you should give it a fair chance, but I understand the bad reviews here. It is not a crowd-pleaser and very persistent. You won't get rid of the scent all day.
If the cinnamon brought a bit more spice and some sweetness, it would be more likable and definitely more wearable, but it is not.
My bottle voluntarily packed its things and moved out. We just couldn't get along.

For this fragrance, you need to have been in the perfume game for a while. Otherwise, you will be overwhelmed here and your sense of smell will never recover.
Yes, dear perfume lovers, this scent is provocative, and it is the darkest and most animalistic rose I have ever smelled.
Creamy musk? Not a trace. Pleasing musk? Nope.
Delicate feminine rose? Not at all.
My dear friends, this is the epitome of the Dark Rose of the Sith. Crawled out from the darkest corner of this planet. It could be hell.
You don’t even need to dress up for Halloween. Just wear Grand Musk and you will scare your fellow humans. I am also sure that the devil himself is making an appearance. The true one takes the throne. The Grand Musk.
Was that satire (or maybe not)?
Anyone who looks at my collection will easily see that I am a Pana Dora fan, and it was clear to me that Grand Musk had to join.
I am truly not a fan of roses. For me, the most beautiful rose is Oud Satin Mood, but it doesn’t always have to be pleasing and floral. No, the rose can also be interpreted differently. Ibrahim must have thought the same and worked long on a new interpretation of the rose, and thus Grand Musk was born. Straight from hell.
The scent progression:
The rose is very strongly present from the opening, and even in the dry down, the rose does not hold back. It keeps blasting but is accompanied by various accords. First, by the white musk, so that the animalistic can take over later. The spicy accords like leather and incense know they are there to accompany and do not dominate. No, the protagonist is the musk.
In the dry down, a bit of amber comes into play to make the whole thing a bit softer and warmer.
This spectacle lasts a good 10 hours, with the musk giving a little after hour 6, and the rose, with a bit of woodiness, continues to take over for the remaining 4 hours.
I tried to layer but failed. No matter what I tried, you cannot layer the DNA of Grand Musk. It always wins.
I find the scent good but I can also take it. I also like AirTiger. (Oh, I have to try layering that.)
I hope I was able to project an image of the scent in your thoughts. If not, thank you for reading anyway, and please give this scent not just a chance, no, it needs its time.

As I already mentioned in my statement, this fragrance reminds me of Black Afgano Extrait de Parfum, Berlin Soul, and indeed a bit of Air Tiger. The scent combines the resinous accords of these three protagonists and is very easy to wear. Unlike Air Tiger, which not only fills a room but conquers the entire universe.
Warning: the following sentences are meant for entertainment and should be regarded by me as satire.
"Well, for this resinous dark spice, you need to be of a certain age and not still have your mom do your laundry. No, for this one, you need to be in the midst of life.
It embodies an alpha male and not a beta, gamma, or delta. If you have hair on your chest, you can continue reading. If not, you can click here Cloud Eau de Parfum
End of satire."
So how does this fragrance start? What can you expect? And which scent inspired it?
The opening is spicy with davana and cypress. Not a cheap opening, no, this is already niche quality, dear perfumistas. It’s astonishing how well this DNA is crafted. I am truly speechless at what this perfume house is putting out. Lattafa and French Avenue can easily pack their things and hand over the throne to Rayhann. Now let's move on to the scent progression.
The bergamot is either still growing or Rayhaan meant the root of the bergamot. That could be. I suspect it’s more the root, because there’s nothing citrusy here. Nope, not a hint. The entire progression is accompanied by earthy patchouli, and thus the scent remains. Spicy and resinous.
The opening immediately reminds me of Black Afgano Extrait de Parfum and Berlin Soul, but more leaning towards Birkholz. If you don’t know it, you must try it.
The whole concept is rather linear. Just as it starts, it ends, after about 6-8 hours with moderate 5 sprays. You don’t need more.
So, as I already mentioned, Rayhann has crafted something good here, and I would love to know which perfumers they are collaborating with. This is not just "we mix cheap accords and off to the filling plant" no, this is quality.
All in all: When my bottle runs out, I will get a flacon because I like this kind of DNA.
