Tobacco Rush

I will return to review this further once this has had the chance to macerate. So, first impressions. The tobacco is a photo-realistic one of either the most pleasant snuff unchewed or smelling a nice cigar before lighting up. The tobacco is strong at first, but it's accompanied with some nice sweetness to give it balance. Now, to my nose, this actually sweetens up more in the mid. The drydown is where this gets a bit darker. The tobacco is there the whole time and the oud doesn't distract from the overall scent...this one just adds some woody depth and I have to be careful with oud as I'm still forming a palate for it. I'm a big fan of tobacco based frags and this one definitely scratches the itch. Now, the reason I will return to update because I don't think this juice is punching quite the way others are describing it. Currently, it's projecting several feet for the first hour, but it's turning into a skin scent after about 5 hours. I sprayed this morning and 7 hours later it's still here, which is very good because this will get stronger. I know this could be divisive towards those that don't dig strong tobacco, but I love this scent DNA to the point where I don't care lol. This is one of those I'll wear for my personal enjoyment. Scent: 9/10 Projection: 8/10 Silage: 7.5/10 Longevity: 8/10 (will update after maceration) Seasons: Fall and Winter Who (purely subjective): Masculine, 30 year olds + Price: 10/10 Overall: 9/10 Update 11/22/2023: This has only gotten better since the initial impressions. It's more well-rounded. The tobacco smells like an unlit cigar, like the tobacco inside one of those. The sweet notes and spices does well in pairing with that tobacco. This is sticking to skin longer, and may continue to do so. Projection and longevity are great. After the 4 hour mark, this sits closer, but not a skin scent until the tail end of the journey. This lasts about 10+ hours on my skin...I don't spray this on clothes because I'll end up smelling that for days. I accidently sprayed this on my shirt this past Sunday (4 days ago) and I can still smell it pretty strongly. So, beware of spraying on clothing. Beware of your sprays if you're in temperate to hot climates and if you're wearing this indoors. Overall, I love this stuff! Again, big fan of tobacco notes. I have nothing like this in my "mini" collection, so I'm pleased. Scent: 10/10 Projection: 10/10 Silage: 9/10 Longevity: 13/10 (after maceration) Seasons: Fall and Winter Who (purely subjective): Masculine, 30 year olds + Price: 10/10 Overall: 10/10

Reviewed after full 10 months ageing. After allowing Afnan Tobacco Rush to mature for 10 months, the fragrance has undergone a remarkable transformation. The initial sharpness has mellowed, revealing a smoother, more rounded profile. The tobacco note, once bold and assertive, has softened into a more subdued, sweetened scent. It's reminiscent of aged tobacco leaves, their natural sweetness enhanced by time, without becoming cloying. A subtle cedarwood accord has emerged, adding depth and complexity to the composition. This woody note intertwines seamlessly with the tobacco, creating a harmonious balance that was less apparent in the initial stages. In the opening, the tobacco note is prominent, enveloping me in its deep, aromatic presence. This is complemented by woody accords that add depth and complexity. During the transition phase the intensity of the tobacco softens, revealing a more subdued sweetness that's not overpowering but adds a layer of warmth and comfort. The texture becomes noticeably powdery, lending a soft, velvety feel to the scent. This transformation adds a sensual quality to the jus. During the dry down the cedarwood introduces a subtle woody nuance, enhancing depth. The overall effect is warm and sensual, with the powdery texture persisting. The overall experience is one of warmth and sophistication, with the maturation process enhancing the fragrance's depth and longevity.

Nose Note #915 I was staying away from this for long thinking it might be too similar to Red Tobacco (which I love, I just didn't need a clone). Now that I've run out of it almost I bought this. Oh man, what a pleasant pleasant surprise. First, this is very different to Red Tobacco, it won't work as a substitute, not even close, it's just a different tobacco scent with different spices, different sweet notes. I also have Black Incense Malaki and Al Areeq Silver - well... It sort of has the vibes of Black Incense Malaki, but ultimately it's very different and it's a tobacco scent first and foremost. Al Areeq Silver - very far away, that scent is super leathery and poopy. Tobacco Rush is just beautiful. Everything about it is well done. Ultramasculine. Very very strong - as strong as Red Tobacco. Great sillage. I think this is an amazing scent and it's not even debatable if you want to get serious. All you have to do is smell the truly crappy perfumes that are trying to do the same thing and smell this... Not for faint of heart and unexperienced noses! 9/10, worth every cent. I can't imagine how Mystery Tobacco can be better than this

Probably the most affordable tobacco-heavy fragrance on the market right now. And what a bang for your buck. Still pricy for an Afnan but extremely cheap for a tobacco scent. Sure, there are a few cheapies that have tobacco notes in them but if you want to satiate a real tobacco-lover, or you are tobaccurious, you should start here. It's more of a mishmash of other popular fragrances than a direct clone of anything, ultimately making it pretty unique. It starts with a strong dry tobacco leaf note that stays in the drydown. Others have said that it has some leathery notes and I agree, though it's not overly strong. It has a bit of a sweetnes, but it's not a sweet tobacco fragrance like Red Tobacco. It's a dry tobacco that has sweet notes. Like eating a sugar cube with dark chocolate, if that makes sense. Ultimately gives a kind of 60's mobster vibes in a good way. It has a good 8-10 hours staying power with pretty good sillage, not on Red Tobacco's level, but still, a few sprays will go a long way. Also, it's in no way unisex. Masculin as hell.

The tobacco accord is just wonderful. Wanted to buy red tobacco, but it's overly sweet for me. Maybe that's more unisex. Tobacco rush is masculine, presenting a ballanced, realistic tobacco, sweetened with some kind of dark chocolate, I get roasted coffee, vetiver, dry spices, maybe some leather... Great composition. I'm so glad there's no oud or smoke. Clean finish. Imagine tobacco vanille, completely without valille, with a real 10x boost on the tobacco. It doesn't make me wonder, or dream about stuff, it's not a fairytale with a long story... It's a mood. A long-lasting (8h+) vibe and it's so different in a world full of sauvage, aventus, phantoms, bakkarats, delinas - it's mature, serious and doesn't lie, . I would love it louder, but Afnan thought that this should be well-mannered. Maybe it's for the best. 10/10 - masculine tobacco fragrance, makes me sniff my wrist all the time, good performance, and surprisingly good quality for my nose, decent price and that's what I want for my fragrances to be like.
