Heavenly Tobacco

So it appears that I am the first to give a review for this fragrance. Let me start by saying that I have over 400 bottles of cologne in my collection so I'm always looking for something different and unique. I believe that I have found that fragrance indeed. This is not your typical tobacco fragrance like Herod, Tobacco Vanille, or even Pure Havanne. No, this is completely different and I have to say, I really enjoy this quite a bit. So far, the melon note is staying throughout the fragrance and underneath that, the tobacco and castoreum are starting to peak their head through, mingled with a little smoke and honey (to my nose). It has an ever so slight but nice vintage vibe running through it as well, but nothing too dated. I really can't say that this smells like anything that I have, so Kuddos for that. Will this be a "crowd pleaser"? Probably not. But, those who can appreciate skilled perfumers who want to go against the grain and stand out, while still making a great smelling fragrance, then yes, this is for you. 4.5/5

A very dry, very earthy, slightly fruity, and woody experience. The blonde tobacco, melon, and elemi give a warm, fruity, and bright resinous opening. There’s that familiar jasmine note that runs through all three of these, mixing with the tobacco that hangs on all through the dry down. As it dries, the soil tincture becomes more present but we never loose the warmth from the opening. Love the aged and leathered nuance that the castoreum gives, and the resinous and funky earthy quality that is given by the oud. Overall, this is a very earthy wearing experience that is dry and aromatic. Surprisingly this is one that garnered me a lot of compliments when I wore it, so it seems to be a crowd pleaser as well.

My wife loves it, I’m happy with it. I have the unfortunate issue of going nose blind to this fairly quickly, which is rarely an issue for me so I couldn’t say why. However to my (apparently lacking) nose, this is a warm, almost fizzy tobacco, with plenty of patchouli with a dark oud backbone. It’s very nice, and keeps from getting too dark or animalic, despite its notes suggesting it may. It stays clean, warm, and rich. Definitely worth a sniff, maybe a bottle since my wife likes it. I just wish I was able to smell it as prominently!

A very enjoyable tobacco patchouli on a robust animalic balsamic base. Dense and powerful with great longevity!

This dries down amazingly, another unique niche scent worth trying!
