Pipe Tobacco

Wow, I am honestly really surprised with this fragrance. I recently purchased a few different Demeter fragrances because of how novel they were, and the price was pretty decent. So far of the 4 different ones I purchased, Pipe Tobacco stands out in a big way. With my testing of the first three Demeter fragrances I purchased and tried, I noticed they all seemed to have a trend. With the initial opening spray, they did in fact smell quite a bit like their name (ie Mushroom smells exactly like a mushroom would smell), but fairly quickly they dried down to scents that were more in-line with wearable-fragrances. Whether that be sweet, woody, floral etc. Mushroom stopped smelling 100% like a mushroom and started smelling like a designer-style fragrance as it dries down. Now with Pipe Tobacco, my experience was MUCH different than the other three I purchased. As it retains that pipe-tobacco scent all the way through, and it does develop in interesting ways as it dries down. Initial spray is 100% a sweet pipe tobacco, absolutely picture perfect smell of cracking open a freshly mixed bag and taking in a big whiff, it is sticky with sweet resins and woody tobacco. As it dries down, it morphs into a shockingly pleasant woody-vanillic-tobacco scent with a touch of spices. The vanilla in this might even be natural vanilla, as it has a surprising depth and quality to it (this juice is even slightly darker in color and not clear like my other Demeter fragrances). As shocking as this may sound, I find that Pipe Tobacco by Demeter has a striking similarity to Coco Blanc from House of Matriarch (which is a VERY expensive all-natural niche house). The scents aren't identical, but the woody-vanilla vibe is quite familiar between the two of them. I tested both out on each arm tonight and I am amazed at how close they are in so many ways. It is a VERY unique style of smell, which aside from the sample of Coco Blanc I have, no other fragrance in my absurd collection smells like Demeter's Pipe Tobacco. Now what time of year does this remind me of when I smell it? Christmas and the Winter season 100%. At one point I could even picture gingerbread cookies and spiced drinks in a warm cozy house during Christmas time as I smelled this. Quite impressive I must say, especially for a fragrance house that has so many fragrances and is not an expensive brand.

A truly exquisite, beautifully rich tobacco fragrance which recalls fond memories of my mum’s best friend, “Aunty Betty”, a wonderfully eccentric lady, a dermatologist by profession who lived on Norfolk Island, resembled Lauren Bacall and smoked a pipe. Her visits were a highlight of my childhood as she would always bring my brother and me wondrous gifts and she always smelled heavenly - like pipe tobacco! Some years ago - already a smoker - i decided to explore smoking a pipe. This fragrance reminds me vividly of the delirious sensory pleasures of visiting Sol Levy, a once legendary Sydney tobacconist and emporium of olfactory delights with large glass jars filled with different blends and varieties of tobacco. In this linear composition Demeter has faithfully captured the essence of the finest pipe tobacco, or perhaps it would be more appropriate to say, the sensory experience of visiting a high-end tobacconist. The dominant tobacco note is both captivating and seductive, reminiscent of the finest high-end tobaccos with a rich, ever-so-slightly sweet woody background, almost like mahogany. Perhaps because of the positive associations this fragrance evokes I find it comforting, classy, elegant and sophisticated.

Starts off with a nice citrus note that evaporates real quick, followed up by a sweet tobacco, very close to unburnt pipe tobacco. Longevity on skin is 3-4hrs and medium sillage. On the clothes it lasts all day long. 6-8 sprays (3-4 on the clothes) needed. Very simple and linear but very amazing scent. UNISEX. A must have for tobacco lovers. Edit: Today I sampled it side by side with Odori Tobacco, 90% similar. I still like this one better.

This is more than just 'inspired by' or 'reminiscent of' tobacco, it IS tobacco. A great deal of skill has gone into creating something that smells exactly like unlit tobacco. I understand the comparisons to Tobacco Vanille or Tabac but this is really just the essence of tobacco right here. One thing I will say though is that this scent is more for layering than wearing as a fragrance on it's own.

I bought Demeter Pipe Tobacco because I love Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille and wanted to find an affordable alternative to a very expensive fragrance. I found that mixing 65-70% Eau des Baux with 30-35% Demeter Pipe Tobacco delivered a very close representation 95%+ of TFTV. This was a great fragrance for accomplishing my task. Bravo Demeter!

i want this sooo bad. my uncle used to smoke a pipe and it smelled sooo sweet like honey sorta..i always missed the smell. its not a smelly cigar smell its the glade plugins In hawaiin breeze smelled simialr to me..the closest to the pipe smell..but now theres this,yay!

I have the 30 ml and the 100 ml sizes, but they smell very different. The 30 ml has more cinnamon and sandalwood notes overlaid on the tobacco. The 100 ml is straight up tobacco, similar to TF Tobacco Vanille but a bit less nicotinic.

having a cig on a break between your uni classes with a group of friends. sweet and warm, great for a rainy day. an old cabinet filled with old and damp books and rugs

Stellar pouch pipe tobacco fragrance. If you find challenging as a skin scent, longevity on clothing is extraordinary.

Very cool! I don't smoke. But I love the smell. Very truly and exciting!!! I wish the lasting power was better.

Great for layering with gourmands!

Demeter has several tobacco fragrances. These include "pipe tobacco", "this is not a pipe", "whiskey and tobacco", and humidor. There maybe others. I have tried the first two, "pipe tobacco" and "this is not a pipe". They are both beautiful simple linear fragrances. If you are looking for a pure realistic tobacco leaf scent, then try Demeter. "Pipe tobacco" is sweet but not overwhelming. I tried Tom Ford's Tobacco Vanille, too sweet for my taste. "Pipe tobacco" smells like tobacco from my Grandfather's old tobacco pouch. The only difference is he used to keep a slice of apple in there to preserve the moisture. "This is not a pipe" does smell like the pipe. It is not an ash/smoke scent. It is still tobacco leaf but not as sweet and a bit woody. Both are intense in the opening, then soften and remain a single linear fragrance throught out. I have noticed that both smell very different on my skin compared to a paper or test strip. On the test strip "pipe tobacco" smells like alcohol and then fades to nothing in minutes. "This is not a pipe" smells like alcohol and pine. Both last on my skin for 4+ hours, but wear close to the skin after the first hour. It would be hard to apply too much. I used eight sprays once just to see how long it would last. It still settled close to my skin after about 2 hours. In short I really love both of these and if you are looking for true pure tobacco they are worth trying.

Smells exactly like a wet pipe that’s been recently used. I get that fruity tobacco note but after around 10 Minutes I get honey and some ash, after 30 minutes it’s turns into a full out ashy tobacco almost like cigarettes. This is almost what I’ve been looking for for layering, if anyone got a perfume that smells EXACTLY like cigarettes please dm me about it. I love this scent nonetheless and it’s worth buying if you like smoky tobacco notes.

The opening was a little off-putting; it has a sickly sweet raisin--tart dry fruity--smell, which mellows and pairs great with its surprisingly authentic tobacco. It smells like actual...well, pipe tobacco, similar to my favorite Tabac Aurea (not as good of course), none of that cheap cigarette smell or the vaguely smokey nonsense others call "tobacco note."

buat pecinta rokok jadul di indonesia kayak gudang garam edisi lama nih perfume cocokk banget... di opening nya kayak bau tembakau rokok pas belum di sulut..terutama dari gudang garam... mantapppp dehhhh walau gw bukan perokok very love with this smell... i like to snif this perfume .. i hope better longevity for this fragrance

Smells like a bag of pipe tobacco in a wildfire. Decisively masculine and mature. While I like this quite a bit, it’s lacking in sweetness. The performance is also lacking, but the affordability makes up for it. Smells the exact same as their “this is not a pipe” fragrance.

Realistic pipe tobacco smell with a faint sub-sweet floral/slightly boozy cherry vibe. But at the end you have simple realistic pipe tobacco. Beautiful, I love it! One of their best scents imo. Interesting layering combo CK Dark Obsession + Pipe Tobacco

Slightly spicy sweet and Extremely wet tobacco smell. Beautiful and warm. Great for winter or going to bed in on a cold night. I use it as body oil

Leather, tobacco and tweed suits by the fire.

smells dusty (a bit like ashes) and dry. a very sweet, earthy and realistic tobacco scent. strangely reminds me of marlboro reds. i don’t usually wear this alone but it’s nice for layering with sweeter scents.
