Oh you merry, oh you spicy...
Actually, I just wanted to write a short statement, but I have to go into a little more detail.
Once again, I couldn't think of a better title, but that's exactly what it evokes in me when I smell it.

It is immediately clear which fragrance was used as a model here - "Tobacco Vanille (Eau de Parfum) | Tom Ford".
Here, however, we get a slightly richer version, a version where I immediately know what it reminds me of:
- Gingerbread spice.

The "Habano Vanilla | ArteOlfatto - Luxury Perfumes" starts for me with smoky, powerful tobacco.
Then all kinds of spices come to the fore where it is initially difficult to classify. Other users say that the clove sets the tone at some point, which I also find to be the case.
I don't know what it is or why, but I get a slightly chocolatey undertone here..
...but maybe my nose is playing tricks on me and I'm just hungry for the finest chocolate wafer gingerbread.
In general, the fragrance is very purposeful in its choice of spices with a nice depth, whereas the original is broader in its spice palette but has less depth.

Whether it is a dupe or an inspiration from "Tobacco Vanille (Eau de Parfum) | Tom Ford" is up to others to judge, but I actually think this one is better because it is more balanced.


Cheers

New man with a familiar look?
As a fan of the "Ombre Nomade | Louis Vuitton", it was a logical consequence for me at some point that I would like to take a closer look at all the known alternatives.

Fragrance & progression:
It starts typically Ombre Nomade like. Woody & berry and not too short, a real bang.
After the "Rescent Man | Mystery, Modern Mark" has sorted itself out, you immediately recognize incense, leather and rose.
At some point, the leather recedes into the background; instead, the jasmine comes to the fore, dancing happily around in harmony with the rose.
In the partner dance, the rose needs a break in between, so that the jasmine is clearly more perceptible at times.
The raspberry remains present the entire time, but tends to take a back seat to the leather as the fragrance progresses. In general, the raspberry is fruity, but not really juicy. The rather subtle sweetness nevertheless suits it perfectly.
For the sake of completeness, it should be mentioned that the incense becomes slightly powdery as it progresses, at least in my perception. Is this due to the light musk?

Differences:
The "Rescent Man | Mystery, Modern Mark" is undoubtedly in the same fragrance family. The main differences for me are that the fragrance is much brighter and, above all, more floral than "Ombre Nomade | Louis Vuitton". For me, the biggest feature here is clearly the jasmine, which makes the whole fragrance a little fresher and therefore more relaxed.

Conclusion:
In the statements, one user wrote "Ombre Nomade light"; I share this opinion.
It simply seems more digestible to me, almost suitable for everyday use as it is not so heavy, dark & gloomy.
Although Rescent Man has a broader base, the fragrance notes are less dense than in Ombre Nomade. This is the only small weakness for me.
However, for me it is a very successful, high-quality but above all equally deep alternative.

Cheers
