Tabaco

I LOVE this! ..and just ordered the 100ml FB, which should arrive in a few days. I do get the beautiful, soft, slightly sweet pipe tobacco in the opening, which doesn't last very long on me.. maybe 30 mins or a wee bit longer. However, what remains is this wonderful just-showered freshness described by the other reviewers here. This reminds me of the scent of the men in my family--my father, uncles, and grandfather--from my childhood in the 60s (and many years after), and which conjures up an image of an elegant, distinguished, sophisticated, clean-cut, and well-groomed man. I love wearing it, though (I'm female), probably also because of the memories it evokes, and will say that this is a unisex fragrance. I can't stop inhaling my arms, and am excited for my parents (both now 80 y/o) to smell it on me! It still smells like I've just stepped out of the shower even five or six hours later, and that's saying a lot considering I live in a hot & humid tropical country (and in the city, too). I'm wondering how this can last longer on me than on some of the other reviewers here. I'm just assuming, of course, that those reviewers are from milder climes. Maybe it performs better in our tropical weather, which probably somewhat resembles that of Valladolid, Mexico where this fragrance originates? Incidentally, I asked for my second son's opinion of Tabaco when I was sampling it a couple weeks ago (he's 23), and he said, "it smells like Papa!" (It's what my kids call my dad.) That's a stamp of approval, btw. To @grug.. If you are still looking for a retailer of Tabaco, and are able to order from a US online shop, I bought mine from luckyscent.com, who also has two brick & mortar shops in the LA area. At this time, they sell it for $90 + 9.5% sales tax.

Agree that it's not a thick, syrupy sweet pipe tobacco! This tobacco is sheer, soft, and fresh. It smells like fresh linen next to an open window by the shore, with a breeze catching the scent of a dry tobacco leaf from an unsmoked cigar. Very, very nice. My one qualm with this scent is that it's quite oily and doesn't have much staying power as a result. I'm a woman and I feel that it's unisex. EDIT: Revising to let ya'll know that JEDI is right, the tobacco isn't dry, it's wet and in the middle of curing. I want to encourage everyone to try this but I also want to keep it all for myself ='] EDIT 2: Much spicier in spray form, but the soapy quality continues to dominate the fragrance as a whole. This is a scent I always receive many compliments on. It's hard not to like, as well as hard to overspray. I can spritz generously and avoid giving people headaches because it just smells like a beautiful soap. The notes if I had to guess: -aldehydes -tobacco leaves -musk -pink pepper? (maybe regular pepper?) -citron (definitely some kind of citrus, anyway) -minute doses of ylang ylang for that fatty, ivory soap feel

The tobacco note adds spice in the first 30 minutes. This with the aquatic accord, a fresh accord and a soil note combine to make something that I find complex and interesting over the course of the day. This reminds me a lot of Entre Ciel and Mer, which is also very unique and difficult to find any close siblings among my other aquatics. Tabaco and Entre Ciel and Mer don't smell exactly alike, but they form their own "clean-aquatic-soil" genre among the two of them.

Just put this on again guys...WOW. I am just really blown away right now. This is like the best tobacco scent ever. It's sweet but not pipe tobacco sweet, like by kilian. It's a different kind of unisex spice sweet. Truly a carribean a take on tobacco, feels awesome wearing this stuff just knowing how great and different I smell. Very unique. I have just never smelled a tobacco scent that smelled this wonderful... 9/10 overall Highly recommended

This stuff smells amazing. I love this Caribbean tobacco vibe. Very good cheer vibe going on here and for the price one can't go wrong. 100ml of niche juice that smells this good for under $100 is a deal. Only one catch....longevity isn't the best, I get a couple hours on skin, clothes do better though..

Definitely a fresher take on tobacco.. “ the tobacco isn't dry, it's wet and in the middle of curing.” I agree! Clean w/ soapy nuances. I don’t enjoy the pipe tobacco style, the sweetness makes me think of patchouli & I fucking hate patchouli notes. But it’s lite & airy here so it’s somewhat tolerable. Miles above something like Naxos. Best I can describe it as would be: the smell of a freshly shaven face.. a clean sweetness, fresh leather/ tobacco scented shaving cream was used. I also get hella lot of oak moss. Generic in a good way.

I like it; it seems very similar to something else. It’s like a barbershop scent, with a rough tobacco leaf. If you focus, it’s quite simple and predictable, but I just like that rough freshness — it reminds me of At the Barber’s and Platinum, that kind of cologne vibe. Maybe even Drakkar or Tabac, perhaps Eau de Minthe, which takes away some of its originality.

This opens up somewhat fruity... some kind of berry. not robust but you definitely end up smelling your wrist a number of times before you're like "wait, is this coqui coqui tabaco?" the tobacco comes through after a few minutes, but its the most unique tobacco scent ive ever smelled in a fragrance. it's very light, very watery. there is no harshness in it whatsoever. i close my eyes and instead of tobacco, its so watery i almost smell... a shower. either a fresh rain shower or an uber clean bathroom shower with the most subtle of soaps. deep inhales give me kind of a violet and cedar accord. its very subtle. its relaxing and refreshing. overall, this scent is extremely low key and i think its meant to make the wearer wonder and enjoy it more than make the people around you smell something. that being said, its very soft and i can barely smell it if im not actively sniffing it. basically no sillage and longevity is poor. if this projected and lasted a bit longer (or a lot longer) its instant full bottle worthy. This is an eau de cologne though afterall... if only they had an edp version.

Finally got my hands on a 10ml sample of this. WOW! It's very fresh for what i was expecting. I would say it's soapy/clean, definitely masculine and there's no way tobacco is the only note here. Absolutely no way. What little tobacco i do notice, is like that of unsmoked, uncured and not fully dried leaves. It reminds me of the smell of a "sporty" soap, like a guy having showered at the gym and gone straight to the local cigar shop for some fresh hand-rolled's. This cologne is the scent of that guy, inside that store, captured and concentrated. Performance is good, sillage is pleasant and it's not a screeching scent but it does have a crispness to it, at least for me.

I'm wearing a sample I obtained with a decant of Crabtree & Evelyn's famed Extrait of Mysore Sandalwood. Unfortunately, both are disappointing. Tobacco by Coqui Coqui opens with blast of soap and aldehydes. I detect very little in the way of easily recognizable notes. This fragrance falls into the category of beach/fresh/just-showered that frankly reminds me of a body spray. I sense a bit of tobacco, probably only suggestive because of the name. This is perfume is soap soap soap. If you wanted a Dove bar in the form of a spray perfume, this is for you. If you want the wet, spicy, warm, woody facets of real tobacco, then I would skip this. Big thumbs down for me.

Like the other reviews have mentioned, this is a light and fresh sweet tobacco - lightly cured leaves, giving it some spice, but perhaps also some smooth and sweet tobacco blossom. It's hard to pick, but whatever it is, it's amazing and without a doubt the best tobacco fragrance I've encountered. It's also my biggest fragrance related regret - when I visited the boutique in Valladolid a few years ago I only walked out with a small 15ml bottle rather than the 90ml. Now, on the other side of the world, I'm trying to find a retailer either locally or online who stocks this, but no luck. If anyone knows of something similar, I'm all ears!

Like being transported to Argentina. It feels light enough like a splash, but there is an intensity that lingers of sweet soft tobacco. I find it unisex and also addictive.The price has gone up from $62 to $88 on Net a Porter. I'm unsure why unless it was completely necessary. Update: I see this is now an edp on Luckyscent for $125. It was originally a cologne, so perhaps the longevity has improved.

If you are like me and find most tobaccos too sweet, don’t hesitate to try this one. The tobacco in this is more floral and fresh. After wearing this for a bit, it started to take on a little of a gasoline smell, and for this reason I won’t be buying it. But for a tobacco option, very nice. Easy to wear.

Fresh, musky, leathery, woody. Smells very similar to Bel Ami with a dash more of sweetness. Though this still leans dry to me. Very nice. If found cheap I could imagine this being a great daily wear 6.5/10

The opening is wonderful, a gently sweet and light tobacco. The dry down is 100% man soap. So masculine, I can’t swing it. But I think I’d enjoy this on a dude.

I have a full bottle of this I am willing to sell Us only or trade for Ellis Brooklyn or Clean Fragrance company scent.

A minimalistic fresh clean woody scent. That's it!
