Powdery Tobacco

If you want a fragrance with very true honey and/or ginger notes like I did, then this is it. Dossier is very hit or miss for me, and this was a hit since it is so clean and powdery in addition to having those very authentic, natural scents incorporated. I think 18% perfume concentration in this blend is very cost efficient and therefore effective in this case, considering its low price point. And that's a good thing for this particular perfume, in a unique turn of events (certainly seems to be the norm that cheaper =/= better, usually, in the world of perfumes). It's not cloying or headache-inducing...just a very nice photorealistic honey with a very mild, malty-vanillic tobacco. No suspicious notes of grape soda like so many of Dossier frags have to my nose. FWIW, the new Dark Black or whatever it is, is pretty redundant to this, just has a slightly more pronounced suede note and an added incense note. Has the same sweet honeyed tobacco-- good gateway to darker scents IMHO

It's sweeter than tobacco vanille with a strong honey and fruit scent. The sweetness makes it lean more traditionally feminine and I actually prefer this to the original tobacco vanille inspiration.

Very nice sweet, rich tobacco/vanilla smell. Makes me think of how a rich guy in the deep south would smell.

I really like this fella and I wear it frequently in the colder months. It's pretty cut-and-dry in its opening; I get the most of the tobacco and spicy ginger upon first spray. Once it dries down, the powdery vanilla and tonka bean come through to soften the initial scent. On myself, I end up with somethin almost lactonic...kinderr like a chai latte. It's especially nice layered with other sweet n creamy scents to bring out that cozy feelin. I understand why this one is polarizing since it lacks complexity and can smell a little medicinal to some, but I personally find it real swell!!

I like this one quite a bit! It comes out very peppery (which is great on my boyfriend) and with strong vanilla. The dry down does get much sweeter I think, and can start to smell a lot like craft root beer. I would like it much more if it wasn't SO sweet, but overall a really nice scent. It also has great projection. When he gets in my car the entire car smells like vanilla pepper.
