TABAC N' COKE

* Smells exactly like what it says it is * Excellent hybrid tobacco/gourmand fragrance * Fun and loud * Heady blend of sweet tobacco, spicy, citrus, vanilla, and amber aromas * A rare tobacco fragrance that appeals to younger users * Great for male users of all ages * Niche quality for discounter price * Great for date nights and social occasions * Strong performer * Not good for older users and tobacco DNA lovers who dislike sweet fragrances * Not good for warmer weather * Not unisex * Dated presentation * Might be overwhelming to some noses Fragrance World's Tabac N' Coke hits a complete home run by merging two very distinctive aromas that go so well together it's amazing that nobody else thought of it before: cola soda and tobacco. The cola note is achieved through a blend of spicy notes and citrus that smells just like a cola with a lime wedge and is shockingly accurate to the nose. This leads into a sweet tobacco note that perfectly complements the cola opening. Tobacco, vanilla and amber aromas round out the mid and drydown here. This is exactly what it says it is and does a great job of it. Performance is quite strong this is easily a niche quality fragrance at a discounter price. Think of Mancera's Tonka Cola done one step better thanks to the sweet tobacco note. This is a rare tobacco forward fragrance that younger users will appreciate. Older users used to drier tobacco fragrances or who dislike sweet ones may want to avoid this. It's quite strong overall and may overwhelm some notes. This is great for date nights and social occasions. It's great for male users of all ages, but I would argue it's not unisex and female users may want to sample first or go for a cola only gourmand fragrance like Tonka Cola instead. This should be used in cooler weather and avoided during the hot ones. Just a great fragrance overall, fun and loud and over the top in a good way. My only niggle is the rather dated appearance of the presentation, I think this deserved a more modern and stylish one. Otherwise, they just nailed it with this one. Highly recommended.

This is so great for the money, even the bottle looks fantastic. If you're building a small collection of different scents on a budget this is in my view definitely a contender for one you should consider, because it's likely to be so different from everything else you have and it's very easy to wear. I've now got over 30 different fragrances since I went mad 6 months ago and this one smells nothing like anything else I've got - possibly vaguely in the same sort of area as a Boss bottled beyond that i have, but it's not really that similar. So the smell - it's fizzy sweets cola and old school caught medicine vibe - the kind you secretly like and always have an extra spoon full! I don't get lime. It's just sweet enough, but not cloying. The scent on me is pretty linear, in that it doesn't really change much as it drys. Its not overpowering, it's a very pleasant and pretty versatile for various wearing options - casual to formal - which was surprising because I was imagining a date night/evening thing with a stronger more polarising nature - in that blind buying was really the only option and I was half thinking I wouldn't like it and would pass it on. I think this ranks on the mass appealing but interesting and unusual scale that is blind buy safe. Excellent purchase.

Blind Buy Diaries # 17. Wowza! Cola note? Count me in! Another successful blind buy. This was my first purchase from Fragrance world. You rarely find fragrances which are true to their name, and this is one of them. A desirable concoction of Tobacca and Cola. Its starts off fizzy cola fresh with lime in the mix, the tobacco and immortelle notes take center stage after 20 minutes or so of spraying, and Immortelle stays for the duration of the scent. The base is quite reminiscent of TF Tobacco Vanille, albeit balanced with the fizziness of cola lime. It is as if someone just added lime cola to a bottle of TF TV. My only gripe is, that I could have done without the lime, then the cola note would be more pronounced, by itself. All seasonal scent? A staple for autumn and winter, but I can see myself wearing this during spring evenings as well. Unisex? Masculine, Blind buy worthy? Great sprayer, cheap as heck, and cola with tobacco, what more would you want? Performance? Longevity, around 6 to 7 hours on skin, and much much longer on clothes, with decent projection and sillage. A winner in all

Nose Note #694 I wanted to try this badly. And I often get disappointed when there is an urge. This was no exception. I'd like to start with saying that the quality and performance on this is great. Fragrance World achieves some exceptional level of craftsmanship time after time. Now about the scent. No, it does not smell like Tobacco Vanille or Tonka Cola. They share something in common - yes, but nowhere close. I like the Tobacco Vanille DNA more than this, but at the same time it's a decent replacement for Tonka Cola, a more wearable, more coca-cola, less medicinal, slightly weaker and somewhat more aquatic version. I think the coca cola scent is translated really good here. A spicy coke. The closest thing I've smelled to coke. It's only slightly sweet. It's centered around the coca cola accord. Not so sure about tobacco, I can't smell any. Mind that it's more of a niche scent. It's not a safe blind buy, just like Tobacco Vanille and Tonka Cola. 8.3/10, superb, slightly playful occasional scent

This fragrance is beautiful. It's TF Tobacco Vanille that had coke poured all over it. Cannot be compared to Roja Enigma - I have Enigma Pour Homme (not Cologne version) and it's completely different. Beginning is to die for. Coke note is beautiful. Depending on your skin chemistry the dry down will either be very sweet vanilla/immortelle/benzoin combo or tobacco/coke. My female friend had the first and I had the second. I actually decided to sell my Roja Enigma because I figured that this is more wearable cola scent and I could have so much fun buying hidden gems like this with that cash. Today I tried Arabesque and they share so much, especially in the opening. Tabac N Coke is way simpler, brighter and obvious coke note while Arabesque is more complex and refined. In drydown they go in different directions, Arabesque is a bit confused from mix of all notes while Tabac N Coke moves towards TF Tobbaco Vanille (still retains coke note)
