If your colleagues hate you...
... then you shocked her with that scent Monday morning at 6:30.

Probably not the classic office fragrance, one has yet something of a rum barrel, also the slightly esoteric incense-cedar-almond mix with a touch of patchouli is not everyone's thing. But mine already
That's why I have a larger quantity stored, so that any production stops need not bother me until my demise.
In short, for me, this is my bread and butter scent, it's how I like to smell myself every day. I think it's important that you can also smell yourself, only then it also affects the environment. That's why I do me also no more supposed "date scents", unless they are nothing for me.

Unfortunately, and here we are at the mass fragrance, you know the Bentley Intense by now. From therefore I hope that my stock also träft me again in times when one is asked incredulously, what this is for an unusual perfume. Because in the end, you want to stand out a bit and not just be one of many leathery rum barrels with sandalwood application and bergamot heads.
Summarized in one sentence, I would describe the fragrance as follows: imagine you are in the 17th century on a rum cutter from the Caribbean towards Europe, go below deck and walk past the old, weather-beaten, smoking captain. That's what you smell. Important: The captain may not be 20 anymore, but he doesn't have 40 years under his belt, either.

2021, Munich, early summer night in Corona times
The fragrance was a half blind purchase. I have times by chance used the Tabac deodorant stick and found the scent very pleasant and so I got me then the cologne to.

And what can I say, on indecisive evenings, this is exactly my Ausgehduft. Today was one of these evenings. After a long abstinence, it should be a beer garden in Munich, in the end it was with some brought beers of the Flaucher.
Sitting around there with some short-term acquainted people came very quickly the question, what I would wear here for a fragrance, because it was apparently difficult to assign, in the midst of the usual scents on such an evening. Probably one or the other companion also felt reminded of her father or even grandfather - consciously or unconsciously. In any case, was consistently liked my fragrance, some of the other present may have felt offended that here the cheap fragrance was the topic of conversation and not their special.

For me personally, the freshness is particularly captivating, at the same time musk and sandalwood convey seriousness and a dignified view of everyday life. Haste with while or but: everything under control.

I have long been looking for a suitable fragrance for me. No sports locker room (hello Abercrombie), no bubble gum gel (hello Invictus). And then Tabac came along. Thank you.

Coconut²
Wow! Right after the order, the coconut hits me as if it had fallen from the palm tree directly onto my skull. That's intense. One spray is enough to spend half a day in a synthetic Caribbean fragrance cloud - I like.

Definitely not a men's fragrance to go out the door, but if you like sweet, sticky coconut feeling, then man is right here. The coconut is joined by a banana-like pungent scent at the beginning, which is unpleasant for the first few minutes, but then falls back more and more behind the coconut and finally harmonizes with it. In any case it is not pure coconut.

All in all a strenuous but pleasant fragrance that you have to like. If you like it, it is a force, albeit a synthetic force
