Tabacco & Vanilla

Between this and Al Harmain's take on tobacco and vanilla, I find this one less in line with what we've come to expect from clones of the OG T&V from Tom Ford. Will go as far as to say it's a different smell profile all together. Right after spraying it gives off really sharp, sort of synthetic smell, not overly sweet and tobacco is a lot less dominant than in TF TV, sort of mellower as well. After 20-30 mins the scent transforms altogether, becoming much milder and more pleasant to the nose, making space for the floral accords to shine through. This fragrance is also not nearly as pungent as the TF, which may be a good thing, as the former really does fill the room(fortunately, I love the OG TV). IMO go with the original or the Al Harmain version.
