Sweet Tobacco Spirits

The expression "Wow!" pretty much captures my sentiments regarding this fragrance. I picked-up a bottle of Sweet Tobacco Spirits three months ago but decided to wait 'till the Fall to try this one. Although it's the heat of a late-August, I decided to break the label and give this one a whirl last night. Bam!...instant love! While this fragrance is not completely original--not that much is--I feel that it is a damn fine fragrance that performs well and smells spanktacular! Okay, "Wow! and "Spanktactular" sums up my thoughts. A short while after aplying this scent, I stopped by local store to pickup an Argentine Malbec along with Newcastle Ale since it was kick-back-and-relax homemade pizza and movie night at my girlfriend's place. I received two compliments while standing in the check-out line...one from a gal and another from a male cashier who asked what I was wearing. Later my girlfriend told me I smelled amazing and buried her head into my neck and chest while being greeted at the door. Surprisingly, it was not at all cloying--to me--in the Summer Night heat (just don't go nuts on the trigger) but this scent is far better suited for the Fall and Winter months. So what does spanktacular smell like? In a nutshell, I find this fragrance to be a very nice quality tobacco scent with plenty of cognac, honey and a really gorgeous sweet-aromatic accord. I don't see tobacco listed in the notes pyramid, but that's what I smell. Moreover, while tonka and vanilla can certainly be detected in the drydown, this blend comes across smelling more like tobacco, cognac (boozy) and honey until that really nice boozy tonka/vanilla vibe takes over with just a hint of tobacco in the background. Performance of Sweet Tobacco Spirits is solid; lasts 12+ hours on my skin and projects above average...heavy for the first 2-hours, within a arm the next 4-hours, and then transitions closer to the skin for the next 6+ hours on my skin. This scent is a crown-pleaser and makes for a solid club scent--although not beastly it smells fantastic, performs well, and can hold its own against loud fragrance the first 2-3 hours--and it is also a great date night fragrance since you'll receive consideration attention while having dinner, followed by receiving considerable affection while cuddling after desert and drinks. Sweet! No...make that Sweet Tobacco Spirits.

Sweet Tobacco Spirits is the only scent from the company 18.21 Made Made, and given the absence of any previous compositions, it would have been difficult to know what to expect if not for the huge hype this has received the past few months in the online community. Its accords are honey, vanilla, tonka, wine, and woods, so while tobacco isn't a listed note, it's nonetheless inspired by the otherwise sweet boozy blend that actually constitutes the fragrance and makes me think of a smoky room where wood and tobacco are part of the general smell. The wine smell is one of fortified wine like brandy, port, or sherry, not truly red, white, or blush wine itself. So it's sharp, pointed, but fermented in a way that's seemingly old and sweet. Tonka provides a certain powderiness, and there's an indistinct smoky and woody quality about it. The genre of "sweet tobacco" fragrances is certainly broad, with a few specific fan favorites, and while I generally find that there's not much new road to be paved, Sweet Tobacco Spirits offers something new. It's most similar to By Kilian Back to Black due to honey dominance AND smokiness, whereas Parfum de Marly Herod has the honey but not the smokiness. Also similar, though not as similar, are Thierry Mugler A*Men Pure Havane, Dua Fragrances Honey Havane, and Wiseguys Vegas Cologne. The fragrance is described as a perfume, and while it's unclear if that actually denotes an extrait or pure perfume concentration, the juice certainly performs unusually well on my skin, on par with its contemporaries listed above, perhaps to the point that this could be borderline cloying if worn in warmer weather. At $80 for 100ml, the value is high (imagining its alleged earlier pricing of $30 or $40 is difficult), comparable to Pure Havane or Vegas Cologne. With its especially boozy, slightly powdery, smoky, and woody character, Sweet Tobacco Spirits is enough of a departure from the other "sweet tobacco" mainstays that it's one I'll likely buy. I recommend that potential fans try it out. 8 out of 10

This nectar from the gods is a boozy, but sweet fragrance that should be worn with a leather jacket or on a boat. Better yet a gentleman, who knows he's about to pick someone up and get down that night(Sorry i'm coming down from a high right now...aka unsolicited compliments). It's a lovely scent, i was stopped by a cop on my way to work and was told (You smelled like meed, but it's nice). I'll take that from a sexy cop any day. I think i found my special occasions scent. Update: I've notice only Fragheads like this fragrance.But the normal person on the street, don't like it. Because it's too different(People kept telling no they don't like it, it smells to different). I used six sprays...both wrist, back & front of my neck, chest and front of my shirt. Will I buy this again?...No.(I got the gift set along with a backup bottle...I'm set) Should You Skipped It, Sample It First or Blind Buy It? Sample it first hands down(But if you like honey & boozy like pure malt, then this might be for you)! Can you use it as a unisex scent? No! Is it the old, new or current formulation? Current(I have the one, without the leaky cap). SKU Number: 867124000251 Batch Number: 031665N001A (Production Date: 2016) Age: 25+ From: 1821 Man Made Size: 100 ML (Plus Backup GiftSet) Scent: 8.5/10 (Nice). Value: 6.5/10 (Cost $60.00). Sillage: 10/10 (Six feet). Longevity: 8.5/10 (Eight hours plus). Creativity: 7.5/10 (Sweet, but boozy...think CH Prive, Pure Malt, etc). Projection: 8/10 (Two Hours). Versatility: 7.5/10 (Anytime & Outdoors or where there is a lot of circulation). Compliments: 8/10 (I was told i smell like meed). Until next time, I'll catch you on the flipside.

I recently developed hobby of collecting cologne and I bought more than half of my (now) collection blindly including 18.21 Man Made Sweet tobacco. I must say when I bought it , I never used it. Just yesterday I thought to try. I wore 3 sprays. It started projecting very mild and I thought I made a mistake buying this one. None of my other blind bought failed on me so I was little bit disappointed. BUT I WAS WRONG! After few minutes, this started the MAGIC! The Sweet and Tobacco aroma just kept growing and growing and not for 1 or 2 but more than 6 hours. I had strong wiffs of it. Initially I was thinking I had less sprays but then realize even 3 sprays are more than enough! Luckily I did not spray on my cloth which I usually do! With 18.21 Sweet Tobacco, no problem of longevity at all! Lasted more than 12 hours easily! This is now going to be one of my favorite Tobacco colognes. Others are Burberry london, PDM Herod, D&G The One EDP, Al Haramain Amber Oud Tobacco Edition and JV Vintage. I love Tom Ford TV too but currently it's par my budget! My Ratings: Scent: 9.5/10 Projection: 10/10 (more than 5 hours) Sillage: 10/10 (more than 5 feet for easily 3-4 hours) Longevity: 10/10 (12+ hours with 3 sprays) Versatility: 9/10 (would not recommend in hot weather though) Unique: 9/10 (based on others comparing this to "Back to Black By Kilian)(I personally never tried that one so for me this one is Unique) Quality and Presentation: 10/10 Cool cap and very high quality sprayer Price: 10/10 ($60 for 100 ml) (1/9th of the price of Kilian which is impressive) Overall: 9.68/10 (Highly Recommended) Blind Buy worthy: Yes, if you like Sweet Tobacco cologne

I just received this product and I'm going to compare it to three of my favorite colognes currently. A) Cigar (Remy Latour) B) By The Fireplace (Replica) C) Jazz Club (Replica) A) Hands down for me, Cigar is incredible. It's masculine, sexy, and very timeless. It's got a tobacco scent to it but in a way that's not obvious. You can wear this during any season but best when it's cooler. B) By The Fireplace is the most gorgeous smoky sweet scent I've ever come across. It puts Tom Ford Oud, Mugler Havane, etc to shame (they smell absolutely horrendous IMO). It's pricey at $126 for a bottle but well worth it if you want something truly smells smokey and sweet. DEFINITELY a colder weather scent. C) Jazz Club is an incredible scent that reminds you of leather, Manhattans, and a touch of cigars. Great silage - definitely a winter scent. So I sprayed 18.21 on me and took note of what I smelled as the time passed by. Initially it's incredibly sweet...overpowering scents of honey and vanilla. As time passed, it turned into a more cigar leaf scent but one that's been dipped in honey or something sweet. It doesn't have earthy tones like Cigar does. As even more time passes by, the scent becomes very tobacco-ish. Definitely a nice scent but the sweetness still remains and is somewhat overpowering for me. Not what I expected. If the sweetness was toned down a bit...maybe by a half, this would be an excellent scent because it has so many layers as time passes by. For now I'm not a real fan. But I'll try it a couple of times to see. If it doesn't work out, it's a gift.

***Update from 7/15/25*** 18.22 Absolute Mahogony (Blue Label). Im leaving a review on this page for 18.22 Sweet Tobacco Spirits bc there's no page as of yet for 18.22 Absolute Mahogony. The smell is AMAZING! Kinda/Sorta Fresh/Woody and hard to describe to be honest, but I REALLY like it alot and its garnered me 3 compliments this week alone since I pulled it out again and wore it. The closest and Id say pretty accurate comparison I can make to this scent would DEFINATELY have to be Hanea Mori's HIM FOR SURE! There's a sorta "Citrus" in the opening and the life of the wear which is AT at all acidic, astringent or sharp in any way. Also initially I was a bit dissapointed bc the opening (The best part) would fade after a couple.hours leaving a very boring "Creamy/Woody" scent which was pleasant, but VEEERY WEAK and again, BOOORING! lol! Well I am very Excited and HAPPY to report that after "Maturating" for a couple months the over-all performance has certainly improved and that intoxicating opening now lingers throughout the life of the wear! (6 hours on skin, like 12 on clothes where it projects well, and is still noticable the following day.) These are a bit pricey (Around $80), but if ya have e the patience and are willing to let these fragrances Maturate properly, they are well worth the price! Btw, this is a Soft Citrus, Creamy/Woody experience with light touches of vanilla and it smells so nice and is PERFECT as a Signature Scent! An 8.5 outta 10 in my book! VEEERRY nice! Thanks to who.ever took time to read my thoughts in this awesome scent!😉

18.21 Sweet Tobacco Spirits Back in 2017, I was on the hunt for a date-night scent. I tried classics/hyped like Jazz Club and The One EDP, but none of them quite worked for me. Then I found this one for just $50. At the time, I didn't even know it was a dupe for By Kilian Back to Black, but 18.21 Sweet Tobacco completely exceeded my expectations. The fragrance opens with a bold, boozy, and spicy wine/cognac note. Unlike the more mass-appealing opening of Jazz Club, this one is unique and captivating. It soon evolves into a beautiful honey and tobacco combination. Its performance is as solid as you'd expect from a scent of this type. Scent Profile: 8/10 - It's not a complex fragrance, but it is beautifully blended. Versatility: 5/10 - This is a cold-weather scent, perfect for a date night. Your partner will love it. I once wore it and a girl later told me that her pillow smelled like me—an incredible compliment. Projection: 9/10 - It's a BEAST. Longevity: 10/10 - It lasts over 12 hours on a winter day, which is more than enough. Overall: 9/10 - I might be biased since this was my first tobacco scent, but I really love this one. I've since tried many other tobacco fragrances, and this one along with Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille are the two that truly stand out. They are fragrances I will keep in my collection.

Wow, I didn't expect this one to be so good! I feared yet another tonka/cedar "impression" of cherry pipe tobacco, or a sticky/syrupy mess with a hint of tobacco, or a synthetic/chemical tobacco scent, or more of a gourmand scent, or something like harsh white musk ruining it (as it seems to be for me with vintage Michael for Men by Kors lately), but this is the "real deal." I'd compare it to the drydown of the Kors, but this doesn't have the harsh white musk, is sweeter, and the tobacco note is just right. It's not vanillic or as fruity as Tobacco Vanille, and it's more complex It's also got some obvious leather, which isn't listed. I'm not sure why Perry Ellis' Black Vanilla Absolute was being hyped when this was selling at the same time, as that is a nice scent but this is niche at its best; the old designers didn't go this far, or else they added too much lavender or something else to distract attention away from the tobacco note. Any tobacco note fan needs to try this one, IMO. I have yet to try Back to Black. And if anyone has a bottle he/she doesn't want, I've got a whole lot of things I'd swap for a backup bottle! UPDATE: After perhaps 3-4 hours it smells more like Tobacco Vanille at about the same stage, possibly later, since TV is so strong.

Sweet Tobacco Spirits is an absolute killer of a fragrance. The comparisons to By Kilian Back to Black are worthy, both with strong, ambrosial honey notes (Manuka honey is missing from this note pyramid) and rich, dark fruity tobacco. B2B is a jazz lounge fragrance, sitting is a velvet tub chair, getting lost in a dream-like smoky haze, while Sweet Tobacco Spirits is the saxophonist stepping off the stage, sauntering right to your table and serenading you with a hypnotically smouldering beckoning. More masculine than B2B without the powdered dry-down, Sweet Tobacco Spirits still remains a unisex fragrance, and is especially fantastic layered to your liking (today, I'm wearing it with creamy VC&A Gardenia Petale). The wine note in this fragrance is a little tannic, a little tangy with spicy saffron, like a young ruby port wine. There is also a subtle raw sueded leather/birch-tar note in the composition that contributes to the masculine inclination. Dry, smooth woods and gentle vanilla musk weave through the honeyed sweetness and bring a smart balance. Sweet Tobacco Spirits is unconditionally a finely-crafted honeyed-tobacco affair.

“Sweet, Playful, but Masculine” I am a lover of tobacco scents, so I had to give Sweet Tobacco a try. It opens up with a blast of honey, but shortly after a deeper layer of woody notes can be detected, and then gradually settles to sweet tobacco. The sweet and honey notes are always present until the dry down. Sweet fragrances can be cloying, but Sweet Tobacco is extremely well blended. It is sweet, playful, but also masculine. Picture a gentleman who is masculine but with a playful side to him. It smells really pleasant, and it is a type of fragrance classy women love to smell on the masculine men. It garners compliments. Sweet Tobacco Spirits is not the best or most sophisticated tobacco fragrance on the market, but it has to be one of the best fragrances money can buy. Final verdict - Niche Snobs: give it a try and don't be obsessed with price or name. It worth every penny. Designer Snobs: the hype is real, but don't get too jumpy. There are better tobacco based fragrances on the market. 10/10 for money. 10/10 in its class. 8/10 overall. If you like tobacco, you must try it.

Lovely scent - way better in performance than say Killian Light My Fire especially for the price which is more subtle. A distant louder and better analogous perfume for comparison is Xerjoff Naxos which is far more complicated. There is an abundant sticky honey in this - wether it’s the boozy wine with the tonka and vanilla replicating an approximation or there is an error in the notes I don’t know either way I can process a wine accord but it’s pretty much a well done honey with vanillic body and the woods (maybe teak like?) popping through giving the impression of tobacco as a mix. One of the top purchases I’ve made with close to the best bang for your buck - a sort of Subaru WRX amongst Porsche 911’s if you like. Weirdly though accurately this can tick a number of fans of scents in either, vanilla, tobacco, woods or gourmand honey - wine or fruit not so much. So what do you classify this one as? For me this is a honey with all the right complimentary notes I like - it’s the only Honey I can wear other than Light my Fire which does not give me performance v price.

Wow...I'm sitting here enjoying a wonderful rainy day whilst being enveloped in this beautiful cloud of honey and pipe tobacco...the wine has began peeking through as well but still very much honey and tobacco and what a very wonderful and powerful fragrance this is, it obviously floats across an entire room easily because my wife keeps telling me how good I smell! Huge thanks to Dave at Fragrance Bros since I won this gem from him, but think I've definitely got another one to add to my favs! BEAST! awesome longevity and projection along with being an amazing fragrance, if you like honey and pipe tobacco type scents this one is definitely worth checking out! ***update - okay after a full wearing the wine does come through more but I never found it to be overbearing as some have and longevity....wow after cooking dinner and going to sleep, here I am the next morning and can still lightly smell this upon my skin more of just a sweet smell like the vanilla maybe but still a strong scent upon the clothing I was wearing yesterday. Love it!

My 18.21 Man Made Sweet Tobacco arrived this week with the matching body wash and hairspray. WOW...they smell amazing! The hairspray smells almost as good as the actual fragrance and the body wash is soooo good. The body wash smell, while long lasting for a body wash, does not last all day like some claim! The actual Sweet Tobacco on the other hand has BEYOND amazing longevity! 1 spray lasted on my wrist 1/2 day, and while the projection of course faded as the day faded, it never went to a mere skin scent...you could still smell it (no pressing the nose into the wrist, LOL). If you like or love Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille and you like or love the scent of real honey....you will love, love Sweet Tobacco. I do not smell any wine at all, which is a good thing since I do not like the scent or flavor of wine! I cannot honestly believe this note is even listed! If you compare the cost of the Tom Ford, this 18 21 Man Made scent is a total value!! Long lasting, smooth, beautiful and a very large bottle for the price. I am very, very impressed!!!

I won this in the giveaway and knew right away from the notes that I would like it, but I didn't expect to LOVE LOVE LOVE it. I love tobacco notes, and I love sweet vanilla scents, but nothing prepared me for this! This trumps every tobacco scent I own! It's deep and rich and gorgeous. It wears a little cold because of the lack of spice compared to TF Tobacco Vanille, but that only adds to the allure. It's not girly and demure like my Fifi Chachnil, and not hooka scented like Tauer Vanilla Flash, and not thick and spicy like Chergui. Honestly, it smells like warm skin/soft leather (probably the tonka) and pipe tobacco soaked in booze and sugar. My beloved Habanita might be the scent of the speakeasy cigarette girls, but this Sweet Tobacco is the scent of the OWNER of the speakeasy, the one who calls the shots and takes all the risk. If Texas Guinan had a signature scent, this was probably it!! This is my new favorite "bad ass" scent. I'm definitely going to wear it to my favorite Cuban Burlesque Speakeasy club next week.

Well after a month of waiting I received my order from J.C. Penny's. I ordered the cologne and body wash. I was able to get them on sale so I got the cologne for $72 and the wash for $22. I bought this based off of the reviews, without smelling it. When it finally arrived, I smelled the bottle and thought "crap". It smelled disgusting, as one review said, like the carpet of a dive bar. My box had already been open, so I assume someone else thought the same thing and returned it. I decided to give it a try and know that for whatever reason some colognes need a few sprays sprayed out before use. I put it on and I liked it. I wore it to class and had two compliments that night. One girl past by, stopped an looked back and said "Wow, you smell really good" and then the girl next to me said "Incredible actually." Definitely a keeper. Has an oily feel as opposed to traditional colognes so that may be why it tends to perform better. I would definitely recommend. I have not tried the body wash yet.

My goodness this stuff is AMAZING!!!' I purchased it blindly on Amazon back when it was $30.00 and right before it became hyped up. I read a few good things about it and pulled the trigger. YES! It's everything you've read about so far and about 5 times more. For the money, it's one of the best buys I've ever made. And for me to make that statement, just look at my collection... Sweet tobacco, honey, you've think you smelled it before, but this time, it's a natural approach. Hold this thing up in the light and to will see for a fact that they use natural ingredients for real, no marketing gimmick there! This leaves that nice shiny glaze on skin like Xerjoff fragrances do too. But my FAVORITE thing about this juice, is the Drydown. It lasts, and lasts and lastssss. But it's not that, it's the smell! The dry down makes this scent it's own gem. 10/10 all around 6/16/2016 I just listed a extra bottle on eBay, get it before it's gone!!

So it's here. Blind bought off amazon for $36 shipped. I am so impressed. Wow. Even though I see no concentration on the bottle or presentation, I have been around long enough to tell this is a EDP pushing the fringe of extrait de Parfum. Now, this doesn't smell anything like tobacco vanille. Not even close. This smells like what by kilian Back to black should have been. Not as sweet. This is a PERFECT BLEND of tobacco and honey with a trace of well done spice. It is its own fragrance in that. It is niche. It is wonderful . It projects well and lasts quite long . It's still going strong a few hours after applied on back of hand. I am going to do a review of this on YouTube. I need a little more time with it of course as these words are of course just my first impressions. I am very impressed with it. Take a look at my collection to make sure we have similar tastes as smell is very subjective. Thanks!

This might be along the lines of Tobacco Vanille and Back to Black. I got my bottle for around $50 USD. If you're a fan of the above two frags, then check this one out! August 17th, 2016 edit: Excellent fragrance. I bought it in the beginning (or so) of the hype for a less than retail price. Totally worth it! It's an excellent sweet fragrance. If you're not a big fan of sweet fragrances, then avoid this. It's basically a honeyed tobacco fragrance - full stop. Reminds me of by Kilian's Back to Black, but perhaps not as 'baby powder-y' as the by Kilian. If you're a fan of Tobacco Vanille & Back to Black, then check this one out. Highly recommended! Even if it doesn't seem like your thing, I still suggest checking it out! p.s. It appears to be perfume strength; it simply says 'PERFUME'. No water appears in the ingredient listing, so this may be perfume/extrait strength.

What else is there to say on top of one of the most accurate and honest descriptions of a perfume? Well, to start, I never smelled any citrus, and the musk — that oh so addicting, slightly animalic musk — seems to not be powdery. Other than that, this is simply one of the best sweet tobacco fragrances out there — even better than the oft-hailed Naxos, which is a little too sweet and severely lacking in green tobacco leaves to me. To some friends though, it’s a grail. And did I share that this is a cheapie at USD 86 for a 100 mL ‘cologne’ blend that you need only 4 sprays of and will last your shirt a full 5 days and reside on skin for at least 10 hours in the tropical heat? A YouTube reviewer ranked this 85th of his Top 85 Tobacco fragrances, but I beg to differ. This should easily be in the Top 15 — or Top 5 even if we narrow it down to sweet tobaccos.

Yummy Tobacco. Rediscovered how good this is. Its a gourmand tobacco, pretty close to my #1 gourmand Ambre Nargile. The tobacco note is stronger here, and good quality notes for the price. Yes, this is a great cheepo fragrance. It reminds me of 2 fragrances, Aramis Tobacco Reserve, and Back to Black. The Aramis is great smelling but bad longevity. This has good performance. I generally dont like sweet fragrances, this does not feel overly sweet at all. I would prefer Back to Black to this, but this is very close, and a much better value. This is like comfort food, pizza, mac and cheese for your nose. Wine, tonka, vanilla, all very comforting notes. Its very smooth and well blended. The tobacco note is very good. I have mostly niche fragrances; This smells niche in every way, great blending, quality, and performance. Rating: 8.25/10 God bless. John 3:16
