Tobacco & Tonka Bean

Well, my first proper review and I've not got a trained nose or anything so I'm really not sure what use this is to anyone but I'm really getting into fragrances and here are my impressions as a complete novice!! :) I used 5 sprays onto moisturised skin. 2 on the neck/upper chest area, 1 behind both ears, 1 back of the neck. I wasn't especially won over by the first sprays. I'm guessing it was the plum/pear combination that I didn't quite love? There was nothing particularly wrong with it and the fruitiness was nice but for 2 minutes it just seemed a bit too loud. Speaking of the fruitiness I could only really pick out the plum and didn't detect any pear but I'm early into fragrance journey so that is probably my nose. After the first 20-30 minutes I don't really detect the plum anymore and the scent has settled into what seems to be tonka/vanilla/tobacco combo. The tonka and vanilla is what seems to shine the most, the tobacco is definitely there but I only pick it up a bit closer to the skin. It seems to pick up a slightly creamy smell to my nose as well, I have no idea if it is the coconut that is giving it that creaminess? If not, then I do not detect the coconut at all. For 3-4 hours I had a good scent bubble around myself and could smell the scent pretty much constantly during this time. I'm not sure if I was leaving trails or not but since I wear perfume for myself only this really isn't a concern for me. Between hours 4-8 I can still smell the scent occasionally especially when I am walking around, pretty much just the tonka and vanilla combo though but again if I dig my nose right in then I can still detect the tobacco. There is definitely no evolving of the scent, after the first 20-30 minutes what you smell will be it until the end. If you are not a fan of sweet fragrances then I would say stay clear of this one, especially if it is the tobacco leaf note you are chasing as it very much plays second fiddle to that sweet tonka/vanilla combo. I loved this perfume and was surprised that it lasted so long, and it kept my mood up on such a cold damp miserable day and at £20 I think was a steal.

So, to my nose this smells way more like Cherry than Banana Rrepublic Dark Cherry & Amber does. I suppose that this may be a "Cherry Tobacco & Tonka??:, bc Im getting strong cherry vibes and to my nose it even smells a bit like like Lost Cherry by Tom Ford or Maison Alhambra's Lovely Cherry just with a bit more powdery amber bc of the Tonka Bean. Anyone else get that at all? Also, I see many folks are saying they get very poor projection/longevity, but I sprayed 3 sprays of this on my hand to try it, went over to my Moms about an hour later and she said it was "too strong" and "Why'd you put so much on", and after that it lasted on my hand 5 -6 hours with pretty good projection for about 2 hours sooo... idk whats goin' on with folk's noses, and Im a smoker who's VERRRY picky when it comes to performance and Fragrances, so idk what to say except I get good performance from this, so I definately agree with @chelfett who left similar comments regarding the performance a couple comments down from me. This may be one of the better performing scents in this line actually, although 78 Vintage Green is my fave, it cant touch this in performance (sadly). Now, what I will say is that when I initially sprayed this on my hand, and put my hand up to my nose for a whiff, I couldn't really smell much of anything, but after it heated up on my skin for a few minutes, it DEFINATELY started projecting quite well. Now, since I LOOOOVE cherry ANYTHING, and consider this a Cherry Tobacco fragrance, its a very strong like from me, although maybe a tad redundant bc I own Lovely Cherry as well. Anyways, Great fragrance with pretty darn good performance ta' boot. Definately Recommended ESPECIALLY if you can find it at a rack store like did for freakin' $19.99! To whomever took the time to read my thoughts on Tobacco & Tonka Bean.. TY!😉

Sweet fruity plum, that dries down to a creamy vanilla tobacco scent. I think the sweetness may be the tonka beans, but I don't detect any coconut or pear. I've seen some reviews saying they don't detect tobacco; idk what their expectation is, but I have a few tobacco dominant fragrances and have smelled a number of other fragrances with a tobacco note, and I definitely smell the tobacco in this one. I really love the smell. It's quite unique, dare I say niche quality? It's very smooth and well blended, no hint of anything synthetic, does not have a designer vibe to it, and develops as it dries down. If it was sold in a fancier bottle for hundreds, people wouldn't hesitate to call it niche. So, I really love this scent. However, there are a couple of caveats. First, the elephant in the room: the performance is dogsh!t. You'd have to be intimately close to the wearer to detect it. Also, the whole thing becomes a skin scent in a couple of hours and is completely gone by 4-5 hours time. Second, although this is a unisex fragrance, it is better suited for females in my opinion. I enjoy wearing this at home for myself, I'll spray some on my arm, so that I can take whiffs of it (while it lasts). But I would never wear this and go outside. But I am crazy for the scent! One more W for this fragrance: you can find these at discount stores for days! Usually circling the $20 pricetag.

I picked up this fragrance yesterday at Burlington for only $19.99. I don't think i ever owned a fragrance with a Tobacco note in it. I usually stay away from fragrances that may seem to harsh. But Tonka Bean & Tobacco sounded too interesting not to try. Upon first spray, I get a warm blend of sweet Plum and Tobacco. I was immediately in love. I've never smelled something so beautiful and uniquely done. Maybe I've been depriving myself of Tobacco fragrances all along lol. But as this fragrance settles, the Plum softens and it's joined by Tonka Bean. That Tonka Bean and Tobacco combo takes you on a nice ride for a few hours until the dry down, where the Tobacco fades and you're left with Tonka Bean and a hint of Vanilla. I could not smell the Coconut or Pear, which i was looking forward to. But this fragrance is so beautifully done, i could care less about what i couldn't smell. Gino Percontino deserves all of the accolades for creating this masterpiece. This lasted for a good 4 and a half hours and has a good 3 feet of sillage in the first 2 hours of wearing this fragrance. Overall, i am highly satisfied with this purchase and i encourage all fragrance lovers/enthusiasts to give this a sniff. It's beyond worthy of what you'll pay for it. Scent: 10/10 Packaging: 7/10 Performance: 7/10

Because I am both a hater of sweet, fruity, vanilla scents and a psychopath, I blind bought this. But I've learned that BR fragrances are never fairly represented by the notes, in my defense. This is no different. It has a touch more vanilla when first sprayed, but that mostly goes away in the dry down. The plum and tobacco really shine for me, with a little sweetness from tonka (not so much vanilla) that enhances the overall scent instead of overpowering it. I also really dislike coconut (see earlier psychopath comment) but I don't get much of that here. It may contribute a slight creaminess to the final scent, but I wouldn't have known it was there unless I read the notes. The accords on this one are baffling. But nevertheless, I truly recommend trying this, even if the listed notes would normally scare you off. For the record, this is what I wanted from Decadence and Good Girl, but was thoroughly denied. The sillage is standard for a tonka/vanilla heavy fragrance. The lasting is good on me - not eternal - but lasting 6-8 at a minimum. In a weird way, it reminds me of Kayali's Invite Only Amber 23. The notes are NOT the same, but they both have just enough sweetness to make the other notes shine, while not being so sickeningly sweet and making sweetness it's entire personality.

It's so good. I tried Solinotes Tonka as I was nearing the end of my decant of this, and it's in the same vicinity, but not as deep and rich, and not as long lasting. I've gotten a compliment on this, and that's not something I go for--I tend to wear a spray or 2 for my own enjoyment. One time I wore three of this when I really needed the mood lift and was told I smell really good. The coworker who told me this wears Cloud so there's definitely a friendly quality to this perfume that I think would appeal to most people. Sweet, cheerful. There's something a bit funky right in the opening, right up close, that I think is an aspect of the tonka note, because a lot of prominent-tonka perfumes give me that vibe. I'm thinking of a couple high end ones that are actually just too much for me. Feve Delicieuse, and Tom Ford FF. This one is less serious and more wearable than Volutes (which I adore) and more interesting to me than Tobacco Vanille, which is smoother but is also pretty much what it says on the tin. I'd say it's more 'synthetic' smelling than either of those. But after a few hours the sillage is a balanced, sweet but natural vanilla. The bottle is gorgeous and I'm reusing the outer box because it is too.

8/10. I've had misgivings over this one, but ultimately, Tobacco and Tonka Bean is a good fragrance.. and I want to share the most honest and important parts of my opinion so far. There was one critical factor that got me to this high rating. The initial spray is alright, not so great. It has a very fruity overtone (plum), with the two title notes peeking around the corner. That plum doesn't work (for me) at all. The opening and first 30 minutes somehow remind me of the scent of Old Navy back in 2010, very clothing store signature-esque. Neither good nor bad, just unusual and distinctive. And that was pretty much the same as my initial take on this fragrance. HOWEVER... This fragrance quickly grew on me when I discovered that during the drydown, most of the fruitiness mostly goes away. After that, it smells smooth, somewhat lotion like, but more masculine and WAY more appealing- very beautiful and very high quality. For twenty bucks at Burlington, this is definitely a bang for your buck- just trust my word that you might not like the opening (particularly as a guy), but give the fragrance time. This alone brought it from a like to a love. I will be wearing this quite often as a fall-daytime fragrance. 8/10

Update from my review from July 7th, 2023: I do stand by that review, although I have gotten used to the top notes of the fragrance and enjoy that part more. But now I must say: this fragrance is an absolute performance BEAST for me. I sprayed roughly 5/6 sprays before an eight hour work shift to test out its longevity; three on the neck and some on the shirt; and it lasted for about 7-8 hours, INSANELY GOOD performance and longevity for a perfume of the price. It faded a bit throughout the life of it; but really, it only significantly degenerated in strength after seven hours had passed, and remained strong for nearly my entire shift. I have more expensive fragrances that don't last even four hours. Overall, my rating of this fragrance has elevated significantly. 9.3/10, and it is definitely worth a buy- it will grow on you. I was not expecting this fragrance to have the best performance of any fragrance in my collection (I have about 25-30 frags)- but somehow, it won that by a landslide. This is my favorite casual work scent, by far; it is one of those frags that I can treat like my "best friend", always there for me but not overly obnoxious.

At the very top is all warm vanilla. Or tonka bean, not sure. I don't have a refined enough nose yet to tell, but it's that style. Very soft and a touch of powder. In the middle I start to get small hits of tobacco. Very slightly reminiscent of a Black & Mild cigar but it would need more tobacco and a smoke note to get there. I do wish there was more tobacco coming through. The tobacco does start coming through as this dries. Still not as prominent as the vanilla/tonka bean but the two are feeling a little more connected together. This kind of reminds me of a less synthetic/more refined Pi by Givenchy. The deepest part of the dry down after about 4 hours and it's only a skin scent is a noticeably sweeter vanilla note. It's interesting how much sweeter it gets so much later. Maybe my favorite part is how lovely the (skin only) vanilla is. Very creamy. Since this smells like (mostly) vanilla and (slightly) tobacco, some might wonder how this compares to Tom Ford's Tobacco Vanille. That one is more like a heavy leather bomber coat and this one is like a light velvet smoking jacket. That one is like a tractor and this one is like a coupe.

Rating: 8.0/10 Honestly, I was completely impressed by Tobacco and Tonka Bean by Banana Republic. After hearing about this fragrance from a YouTuber, I made a promise to myself that if I ever stumbled across it at Burlington, I would give it a shot. At just $20, it's an absolute steal. The combination of its affordable price and exceptional quality is what keeps me coming back for more Banana Republic bottles. From the moment I sprayed Tobacco and Tonka Bean, I was captivated by its addictive blend of vanilla, tobacco, and plum. This unexpected combination caught me off guard in the best way possible. The aroma that projects is an air of mystery while smelling absolutely fantastic. I found myself constantly bringing my wrist to my nose, unable to get enough of its alluring scent. I even caught myself saying out loud, “Damn, this smells amazing!” Banana Republic has truly mastered the art of creating exceptional fragrances, and in my opinion, Tobacco and Tonka Bean reigns supreme. It's a delectable addition to any collection, with a perfect balance of sweetness, vanilla, and tobacco.

This might be the most full-on unisex scent I've come across, and it's a darn good one. The names says it all, as you get a warm sweet tonka bean (and vanilla) base balanced with a mellow smooth tobacco. The tobacco doesn't demand attention in and of itself, but serves more to keep the fragrance from becoming cloying. It also adds a darker and slightly mysterious note that keeps this one firmly in the unisex territory. If you want a loud and clear tobacco scent, this probably isn't the one. But if you want a super smooth and subtly rich blend, it's a go. The longevity is solid but this one isn't a big projector. I don't mind that at all, as this one works really well as a more intimate aroma. If there's any criticism, it might be that this scent is pretty linear, but otherwise it's a fantastic scent at a really good price. I'm a pretty traditional and masculine guy and I like this one on me and would also love it on a woman. Side note: the bottle is also very attractive and the dark purple color suits the scent perfectly. Don't pass on this one.

If Hypnotic Poison and Tobacco Vanille had a baby, this would be their plum drunk grandchild maybe. Not a direct dupe to either but definitely in the same sort of scent family. The plum & pear combo reads as slightly boozy, which was surprising. Despite the fruitiness, it’s definitely rich and grown up smelling, vaguely gothic even, but definitely not like a super youthtful and fruit forward body spray sort of plum note. Together with the tonka there’s a definite palpable Playdough underbelly, you’ll either like it or you won’t. (If you like the vaguely Playdough bits of Hypnotic Poison, you will like this. I personally really like it.) All together this perfume is beautifully blended and opulent - I don’t get an overwhelming sweetness like some other reviews, and I don’t get an overwhelming spicy vibe from the tobacco either. It’s just sort of a soft, vaguely boozy and cozy just-more-than-skin scent that sticks around a long time, especially in cooler weather. The drydown is especially beautiful. A wonderful buy for 20 bucks.

So happy I got this. Such a well blended fragrance! Found it at Burlington and got the little bottle, opened it in the car with my husband and we both tested it on skin. Needless to say, he ran back in and exchanged for the big bottle! 😂 This is unisex leaning masculine. It’s a creamy, sweet tobacco but not in the way most tobacco fragrances are. It’s like you have an exotic unsmoked cigar in your breast pocket and are sipping a glass of some sort of liquor 🥃. Vanilla and tonka really shine in this fragrance and bring a nutty, powdery sweetness without being a toothache. I hardly get any coconut if not at all but maybe it just really blends with the tonka for that added creaminess. Both my husband and I are going to wear this. I don’t know how it will perform in the winter (I imagine better) but it’s a beast in the summer so I’ll put it away for a cooler day.

Tobacco & Tonka Bean by Banana Republic strikes a great balance between warm and seductive without going overboard. It’s got that smoky edge you’d expect from a tobacco fragrance, but it’s smooth, sweetened by the tonka bean, and super wearable. Think more “well-dressed bad influence” than “ashtray.” This isn’t a dirty, smoky tobacco—it’s more like the scent of someone who might have had a cigar an hour ago, but now they’re wrapped in a cozy sweater and subtle cologne. It’s got this cozy-yet-sexy feel that really works in cooler weather or on a night out. Performance is decent for the price, though it’s not a beast. Projection stays moderate, and longevity is around 5–6 hours on skin. For something this affordable, it punches above its weight in scent profile. If you want something warm, inviting, and just a little rebellious, this one’s worth a shot.

I just bought a big bottle at Burlington for $20. I was looking for either a leather or tobacco scent for the fall/winter with some vanilla. I love plum in my fragrances so I knew i would love this. First initial spray I get a very dry plum and tobacco that almost smells like BO, I did not like this at all, at first. You really have to let this one settle in your skin before the tonka comes in. Once it dries down it has a very nice suede scent with a tiny touch of sweetness. The tobacco is there but its not prominent so dont be afraid of the tobacco note it's more in the back round than anything once it dries. This is gorgeous and intimate. Perfect for fall/winter. Can't wait to let this one sit and macerate a little bit. I can tell this one is going to be a beauty, although I do wish it was a bit sweeter for my taste.

Bought it at Burlington about two months ago, and the first time I sprayed it I was majorly disappointed by the smell, the duration, and the projection of the fragrance, but I only spent around 20 bucks on it and the bottle is a beautiful purple color which looks good in my little perfume closet. A few days ago I decide to spray it on again and my god did everything about it improve. Smelled amazing, more sweet than tobacco in my opinion. Protected well, my wife could smell me more than an Arms length away, and did last a good 5 hours before the smell started to fade. Got compliments at work as well which I loved getting. I hope to find more at the local stores as I am sure the resellers are jacking the prices up online. If you happen to see it at less than $25 I highly recommend it.

Lovely, warm, creamy...are my first impressions of Banana Republic Tobacco & Tonka Bean. If you are looking for a tobacco dominant fragrance, this is probably not the one. The tobacco note is very faint...and I probably would reverse the name and call it Tonka Bean and Tobacco, but lovely nonetheless. This is Unisex, and it smells amazing on both Men and Women. Moderate sillage, moderate longevity (lasts longer on clothes) and a great price. Found this at Burlington Coat Factory and paid $20. I love how it dries on my skin. For Fall and Winter this can be the perfect scent - sweater weather, hot chocolate weather, Christmas shopping weather .. bundled up, ...straight thru the New Year. Surround yourself in this creamy Tonka cloud and enjoy!

Im honestly NOT understanding why folks say tbis fragrance is so fleeting?! I get average longevity on skin and quite good longevity on clothes where I can easily pick up on Tobacco & Tonka bean the following day, again ON CLOTHES. And believe me, Im a performance whore and really dislike fragrances with poor longevity bc I find fragrances that smell great, yet have poor performance just plain irritating bc they just leave me wanting more. Anyways, back to Tobacco & Tonka Bean. Im also surprised that people don't get the similarities to Tom Ford's Lost Cherry and Tobacco & Tonka Bean. They smell almost identical to my nose and I actually find that the Banana Republic actually performs BETTER than the Tom Ford does.

Let’s talk about Tobacco and Tonka Bean, if you like the Code DNA I’m sure you will like this, similar but by no means the same or a clone. This opens fruity, very plum and a little pear. Then the tobacco and coconut comes in, with a little tropical vibe, and it is also on the sweeter side. After a few hours this turns into a Tonka/Vanilla base that is dreamy creamy. A very non linear scent and those that say it is is are just going by the sweetness. I would say there is nothing on the market the same as this. Blind buy? Well this gets a 4.32 rating out of over 500+ votes here. So what does that tell you? BUY IT! If you want a freshie to go with this then get their Vintage Green, then you have all seasons covered,

This is a strong like rather than a love for me. There is absolutely nothing wrong with it, the blend is very nice, it stands up well to contemporaries like Tobacco Vanille (agree with Tran Tran, just slightly less vanilla, but I would say it has slightly less depth), it.. just doesn't stand out as really special, if that makes sense. I do think this would make a fantastic base layering perfume though - for such a good price point you could play with it with other samples without is costing you a second mortgage. Honesly, it is worth it if just for that! Edit: Actually.. upgraded to a love. The longer I sit with it, the more I like it.. to the point that I just bought a full bottle

First of all ... Im amused by the people saying this is "synthetic". I can't Believe how perfumers didnt use premium ingredients for a $20 fragrance!!! On a more serious note.... This perfume opens fruity to my nose. I can easily percieve the Plum and the Pear in it. It fades away in like 30 minutes fusing in coconut hints, like coconut on bathroom sprays to be fair but very pleasent until it lays to rest in sweet tonka bean .... to me Vanilla is there but NOT TOO MUCH.... Tonka Bean is dominant and I love it. Is UNISEX but a Lady can wear it almost for every occasion. Me as a Man I would wear it in romantic intimate situations the most and for Nighttime Formal/Tuxedo-Like events.

I LOVE this stuff. It's quite sweet when you first spray, and admittedly it stays quite sweet but does dry down a little less so - I feel like the tobacco really rounds out the sweet fruitiness of the plum so it doesn't end up being sickly sweet. I wouldn't say you can really detect the tobacco note though... it's just doing a lot of work in the background. It's not gourmand, and it's not juvenile despite its sweetness. I don't get any coconut from this, but I can see how the vanilla and tonka bean contribute to the overall profile. It's surprisingly well blended. For a budget perfume, this one stands out and is genuinely excellent value. I'll keep repurchasing this.

Seductive, warm, rich, and comforting. I wear this to work and other casual settings. I also wear this at home at night because it makes me feel cozy. This is like a wet tobacco that is smoked in a hookah, laced with the flavor of a plum jam and rounded out with a warm vanilla/tonka. One of my top favorites. Unisex right in the middle. I just wish longevity was better, although for the inexpensive price I have no complaints. 3-4 sprays will last about 3 hours before a touch up is needed. I have the full size 2.5 ounce bottle at home as well as the smaller 1 ounce size at work, both of which I found at Burlington. I’m keeping an eye out for a backup bottle. ;)

I kept hearing about this being at Burlington, so decided to see if it was in there and found it. $23. I sprayed this on when I got home and looove! What a beautiful surprise! A burst of plum, vanilla and a super soft tobacco note at the edges. It is perfectly unisex. Medium sillage. It doesn’t last the longest, maybe 3-4 hours before turning into a skin scent, but why not just spray it on again? There are qualities similar to BDK’s Rouge Smoking, except I don’t think it is as cloyingly sweet. I also heard this compared to smelling like you came out of a humidor, and while there is the tobacco, that’s not what I’m getting out of it. Cozy and perfect for fall.

god what a wee gem this one is! such good value as well. I actually bought this for my boyfriend, as he had been after a sweet unisex scent for a while, but I did a bit too well I think and I couldn’t stop sniffing him and now I often steal it for myself. it’s the perfect amount of fresh yummy sweetness but still maintains some darker, more masculine notes underneath. many reviews say this doesn’t last long but honestly my bf still smells great after a full day of work, it doesn’t seem to last as long on me but it stays on my clothes quite strongly. overall, delish fragrance that will be repurchased for sure as it’s so cheap for what it is as well.

#1479 in my "Tour de Fragrance" In a number of scents plum comes off like black cherry and vice versa. That's the case here. Nice coconut note. This scent fits right in with Montale "Infinity", Clive Christian "Jump Up and Kiss Me Hedonistic" and Guerlain "L'Homme Ideal " EDP, but costs a lot less, still performs well enough, and is not overly sweet like Tom Ford "Lost Cherry." I like this enough that I'll actually order a bottle. The first time I've bothered with a Banana Republic scent. Car pool, elevator and small office safe. Unisex, but probably not office wear for men. A good scent year round. Good performance. Great price.

I absolutely love this one. Other than the 78 Vintage Green one, this is my favorite. I also like the Neroli Woods and Metal Rain ones. Back to the Tobacco & Tonka Bean one: I can easily see either a woman or a man pull this fragrance off perfectly. Very sweet. I can almost taste the vanilla and coconut. Go easy on the number of sprays. Though to me it does smell more of a winter’ish fragrance, the coconut also reminds me of the beach and therefore the summer (weird, I know). But that’s just my take on it. I would definitely recommend this to someone on a blind buy at a discounted price at your local Burlington.

I love this stuff!!!! it is honestly a really nice smell. you get this warm, sweet mix of tonka and soft tobacco it’s smooth, kind of creamy, and just makes you feel comfortable. Nothing heavy, more like sweet softened pipe tobacco with a touch of vanilla and creamy coconut. It’s the kind of scent that makes you want to chill up outside in a cold breeze. Not too strong and super sexy, but it lasts a few hours for sure if you overspray and then sits close to the skin. It’s simple, chill, and smells really nice without being too much. One of my favorite in the line i wish it was a little more powerful 8/10

Yummy. This is a very unique fragrance. It's opens with the tobacco and plum, in the middle it sort of smells like a plum jelly/pastry (but in a good way), and ends as a delicious nutty vanilla. I'd say it leans feminine and comes across like a very well done gourmand, usually I don't like gourmands but this one isn't too sweet. It lasts 6+ hours and leaves a pleasant scent trail as you walk by. Perfect to wear in the fall or during the evening of any season. I could see somebody wearing this on a date night. So glad I picked this up!

This fragrance is essentially a more sugary version of Initio Side Effect. The performance isn’t great initially, but for a $20 price tag, I can’t really complain. However, the real magic happens when you take matters into your own hands. I used my own royal maceration method, and the results were impressive. what started as a sweet scent turned into a rich, deep tobacco masterpiece, with performance that’s now truly lasting. Turns out, the right maceration technique can really unlock the potential of the Banana Republic line.

I dont get why folks are saying this has poor performance! It has pretty good performance all aroumd really. Its like just bc its a Banana Republic fragrance people need to bash the performance or something.. Tobacco & Tonka Bean performs better than most of the other offerings in this line, oh and its not a bad dupe for Serge Lutens Chergui with this Cherry Tobacco and powdery Tonka Bean. Ofcourse Chergui is much more powdery and performs better, but this aint bad AT ALL ( And im one of them there (PERFORMANCE WHORES) Lol!

Recently I've put my nose on tobacco/smoky scents and Banana Republic Tobacco & Tonka Bean is my second perfume to this scent. The first one was Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille. TTB is less sweet (less vanilla) than TV so it is more unisex (but still leans feminine to me). Both scents are sexy and mysterious, staying power on me is quite the same as well. (My body chemistry somehow only allows 3-6 hours maximum of all perfumes lol). But for the price TF can never compete. This was a blind buy and I'm completely satisfied.

I have been getting more into tobacco scents and have been enjoying this one! The plum up top is really fruity and the tobacco is the main scent I get (I don’t smell coconut at all). The tonka definitely leans more spiced than I usually enjoy for myself but I layered this with a spritz of Ariana Grandes Mod Vanilla (also has plum as a top note and a vanilla base) and it made it a touch more feminine and warm and less “spiced”. My husband also loves this scent, it’s a very enjoyable unisex fragrance!

$27 AUD / $18 USD I paid for this and it is worth every cent. Is it beast mode? No. Is it complex? No. Is it going to be a dumb reach? No. But what this fragrance DOES do is excellent for the price. There is a deep plum in this fragrance, which to me, gives a boozy impression, which I love. The scent also has a nice, smooth and smoky tonka and tobacco heart which stays forever present and is very sexy and masculine. Great as a layer or something to wear at night or to a date.

Blind buy for me based on the positive reviews here, it did not disappoint. The initial notes are not my type, almost feels like cough syrup scent, BUT!! give it a minute and that scent quickly dissolves into a tobacco and warm tonka bean/vanilla scent that is sweet, yet not too feminine. I would say, while unisex, this one leans a bit towards a male. I could see myself wearing this on winter date with a classy suit on in front of a fireplace while it's snowing outside.

I guess i was busy trying out some high end perfumes and i have somehow missed this one. BIG MISTAKE! This is a beautiful, warm, smokey, intoxicating and addictive scent. I bought a small 1oz bottle just to try it and was immediately hooked. It smells like smokey vanilla,tonka bean and a hint of coconut. On my clothes i get a good 6 hours out of it.It is perfect for autumn, it makes me feel cozy and warm. Price is great and i would repurchase again!

If this was a little bit longer lasting and stronger I would give this a 10 out of 10. It is such a beautiful fragrance and criminally underrated. I have many fragrances that are like this but honestly I pick this one over much more expensive ones because it is so beautiful and soft. I wish they would come out with an intense version or one that last and projects better. As it is I have to give it an 8 out of 10 because it's quite weak.

This I would say has the same DNA as Intio side effect but for a really cheap price you can easily find a bottle for 20-30, I wouldn’t say it’s as complex though but definitely worth a try, if you like it. Easily one of the best from the line, it’s very much a vanilla and tobacco heavy fragrance but I’ve been wearing it for a while and I can’t seem to smell coconut at all (maybe because of my skin idk) but defo a 9/10

I got this one for around $13 at burlington as a blind buy and the first sprays I was a little unsure, let it sit for a couple days and tried it again and it's just amazing. Something soothing about the smell. Definitely unisex but it's unique. You can smell the plum nicely in the opening then it dries down and the tonka/ vanillic smells really come into play with the tobacco. I recommend this one for sure. 8/10

I got this for my husband and loved it on him but loved it on me as well. So, Ima be rocking it too 😁 it reminded me a bit Jazz Club and Sphinx Citron Tabac it is not a dupe, but it has de vibe, I think is the tobacco note which I love. The only thing is that I wish it performs louder and lasts longer, but for $20 is a great deal if you’re not planning on wearing it for longer periods of time or mind reapply.

many people say that this perfume cannot be used in summer, but this perfume is designed in a way, that even when the weather is hot you can wear it. I say this from my own experience because I have used it in Summer, even in the afternoon and it has not been heavy or overwhelming at all. Obviously it is much better at night and in cold weather, but I repeat, you can still use it in heat. Note: at Any time 👏

I've had this fragrance for several months and I have to admit that it deserved more time with me than I have given it. I very much enjoy this fragrance, and I believe I have not shown it the respect that it deserves because of how much I paid for it (under $30.00 at Burlington Coat Factory). I can say the same for Vintage Green by Banana Republic. My rating for this fragrance based on smell is 4.50.

I thought i reviewed this but i dont see it here. This is totally worth the money if you stumble upon it at burlington or similar store. This is great for fall winter and possibly cool spring nights. I have received compliments on this. I layered with ded cool taunt at the time. I think a little extra vanilla goes very well here. I think it is unisex but note that many feel it is more feminine.

Literally was standing at Burlington with this perfume in hand and reading the reviews below, thank you @AuthenticAF 😊 for the recommendation! I totally love it. Really warm and sensual scent, I like wearing it to bed now in the summer. Looking forward to seeing how it behaves in cool weather too. Great purchase for a ridiculously low price. Who says blind buys are a waste of money 💰🥰🤑

I absolutely love this fragrance! I smelled it at a local fragrance store and it instantly caught my attention. It is a very dark fruit smelling fragrance initially. If you look farther in you can pick up on the tobacco and it gives a great compliment to the dark fruit note. I love this fragrance and have wore it everyday since I got it. My new signature scent for sure!

This is beautiful. A top fav and I have a decent amount of fragrances. I have Rich Warm Addictive by Zara & Tonka by Solinotes. To me both have similarities. But this one is a great everyday scent to me. I need me a back up! Not bad for $21 at TJMax. I am pretty impressed with Banana Republic. I also have Neroli Woods and Gardenia & Cardamom both are wonderful.

I got this fragrance from Burlington for 20$. And I was very surprised when I first opened the box. Very good quality. The cap is heavy and the box has a very nice presentation too. The smell is amazing with plum and vanilla being the main accords to me. I highly recommend this if you want a cheap, unique scent although not everyone will like it.

This is one of the best cheap perfumes i have ever seen. moderate - long lasting on skin, the tobacco isnt overpowering and it dries down to this safe and compliment-getting vanilla / tonka bean. the opening notes are a bit feminine but I think the middle and base notes are more masculine. 9/10, would absolutely recommend for ~£25.

Bought it like a week ago, for the price it was an ABSOLUTE STEAL. Burlington had it for $20 smells amazing. Last surprisingly long for the price but it’s not super loud, to me it not being super loud is a plus, it’s definitely a “discover” type of fragrance but I adore it. For the price I got it for 110% worth a pickup

BR Tobaco and Tonca bean was my blind buy. And let me tell you, this is one of the best blind buy experience that I had. I didn’t expect that kind of performance from it. Smells amazing, very nice blended ingredients, last on my skin for easily 10+ hours. Definitely recommend to anyone who likes tobaccoish perfumes.
