Oud Tabac

This is a Great Fragrance, Modern, Elegant, Classy, Smoky, Spicy, Tobacco and Complex. It is not similar to Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille , The Opening is the same but the dry down is different. I bought it blind-buy after reading the positive comments and I watched reviews on YouTube with reasonable price. It opens up with a bit sweet warm spicy , smoky , Resinous notes and Tobacco in the background then dry down is semi sweet, smooth, warm spicy, vanilla , balsamic resinous and ambery. There is a Medicinal Smoky vibe undertone between the opening up to the dry down. The Agarwood (Oud), Labdanum , Olibanum and Tobacco notes are dominant in this perfume. I fell in love with it at first sniff and I really enjoy it when the weather is very cold. If you like TOBACCO and OUD STYLE SCENT, This one is for you. Amouroud Oud Tabac is Suitable for the fall and winter. Longevity is good. Highly Recommend. Two Thumbs Up Bravo Monsieur Ilias Ermenidis ! Rating : 8.5 / 10

Clearly Tom Ford’s Tobacco Vanille will aways be the crest of the wave and the high water mark to which other fragrances similar to this, will be judged. The opening is dried fruits and honey with a deep cherry tobacco and vanilla...yeah...I told ya! The accord is clearly of comparable quality but I guarantee I could tell the difference between this and TF TV as something seems smoother, less brash, could be the oud and saffron Lux’ing it up a bit but it doesn’t have the heft either in the Tobacco or the vanilla. However, make no mistake this is not like a ‘weaker’ One I could think of Phaedon Tabac rouge prehaps it’s more like that Parfums de Marly one? (Name escapes me) a reimagining, progressing subtley differently. I have TV so ultimately this is redundant to me but it’s long lasting and cheaper per ml than TF so worth checking out for fans who want to save a little.

I read somewhere that this perfume smells different depending on the wearer and even though that might be a bit exaggerated I don’t get the tones people are writing here. I definitely get oud and tobacco. Is it Ensars oud oil? Hardly, but I’m guessing a blend of non-funky/barnyard oud mixed with synthetic oud. Deeply woody but withoud the depths that you get from the really good ones. However very few, if any bigger houses have top quality oud in them. This is good enough for a perfume like this. This is far from as sweet as say Tobacco Vanille (Tom Ford) for example. I think they balanced the sweetness pretty good on this one. The tobacco is good! Mixes well with the rest. If anything more stands out it would be saffron for me. A must if you are into tobacco scents!

I'm still not so impressed with the opening yet. Opening seems pretty subdued to me, it doesn't open up the needed opening notes, seems kinda muted on my skin, was expecting more projectivity in the opening but it was just ok. However, it's quite a balanced opening, The saffron didn't try to be loud and was well balanced with the rest of the accords. It does not smell like TFTV at all but the opening notes are all there, not too loud, not too powdery. I liked the Mids and drydown alot more. That's when the tobacco and the amberwoods starts to emerge. Becomes a much better scent that deserves the rating. Will give this a few more good wears

If you like TF Tobacco Vanille you will like this, it can be picked up for a lot less money. The opening is a little different, to me TF smells strongly of Tobacco and Vanilla from the opening and dries down the same really, Amouroud is a little more complex to my nose but in the dry down they both smell predominantly of tobacco and vanilla. Great buy, got mine for under 100 pounds in the UK for 100ml and it last ALL day. TF is far more expensive and in my view not as good as Amouroud but the differences are small and the sillage they smell very similar indeed. Great buy for the cold weather...
