Tabac

An intoxicating scent. Incredible tobacco, warm vanilla and very smooth woody oud. This is the most luxurious scent I’ve ever smelt. It feels “rich” (like rich/flavoursome food, not money). It’s thick, and feels as if the scent has “weight”. Very good projection (but not a room filler) and very good sillage; people notice if you’ve been in a room and left, or in an elevator when you’ve stepped out already. Such a natural smelling scent as well. I have many niche fragrances, and the quality of this is beyond anything I’ve experienced (and previously I thought the xerjoff oud fragrances were the best). If you like tobacco and vanilla with the depth of oud, this is unbeatable. It makes Tom Ford’s Tobacco Vanille feel like the designer fragrance it is (if you layered TF Tobacco Vanille and Oud Wood, you may get a similar feel, but no where near the opulence). It’s incredibly underrated/unknown, but for the scent profile, nothing comes close. If you’ve smelt the TF Tobacco Vanille, or Tobacco Oud, try this, you won’t regret it. My only criticism isn’t the perfume, its the way ATH as a fragrance house works- they are constantly out of stock and do “drops” which sell out quickly (often with a countdown time to the next “drop”) I hate this business model. When I want to buy a replacement perfume, I want to be able to just order (as not available in stores); I’m to busy to keep checking the website for stock. I’m not a teenager waiting for a supreme or Yeezy drop...

Herod wishes it could be this! I love tobacco notes. And this is peak! I read a longe review of a older man in his 50's telling his life storry on how his father worked with tobacco plants, and he kept going on about how it took him back to the memories of that and made him cry bc it was so real and beautiful. Peak, peak, peak tobacco parfume. This is the new official king of tobacco Parfume.

This fragrance is the first tobacco focused scent I've ever actually liked. It's intense and unapologetically itself, projects like a monster and lasts all day with REAL oud blended masterfully with vanilla and tobacco. If Tom Ford’s Tobacco Vanille had sex with Tobacco Oud it would smell like this. Wait for the dry down, it’s worth it...

Smells like cigars. Nothing sweet about it. So, certainly not for everyone given how annoyingly sweet fragrances are these days. Excellent.

Underwhelming Compared to Other ATH Perfumes I’ve tested 8 ATH perfumes and currently own 7 bottles, so I’m definitely a fan of Aaron’s work, especially his oud line, which is dark, rich, and performs exceptionally well. Unfortunately, Tabac didn’t live up to the standard I’ve come to expect. The quality is there, but it just doesn't project like his other fragrances. I have the pre Reborn 50ml bottle with the unicorn and Swarovski crystal, so it might be a batch issue, but I’m not sure. Aaron has mentioned in one of his videos that he’s not big on tobacco fragrances, and it kind of shows here. The scent reminds me of Tom Ford’s Tobacco Oud, but with a cleaner, drier tobacco note, no wetness or musty tobacco. If you're looking for a bold tobacco statement, this isn’t it. Not a bad fragrance, just not what I expected from ATH.
