Tobacco

It's difficult to capture in words how you feel about a scent when you adore it. You really wish you could do it justice in writing but you've just lost before you even begin. This scent had me taken by surprise the moment I first encountered it. First it was on a slip of paper, very soon after on my skin. Once I had smelled this, I pushed all the other slips of paper away from the "table of options" to just give me a break with this one only. I was carried away by its mood of tranquility, the unbreakable softness and balance. Above all I was stunned by how beautifully it represented both the feminine and the masculine, neither dominating the other. I always feel a sense of peace or inner completion when two opposites meet in harmony - when the opposites within me are both fulfilled. With this fragrance, I can be everything at the same time without being an unreliable, cloying mess - I want warm, spicy, sweet, fresh, woody... and here I have it all. There are indeed many notes that presumably make this perfume masculine (such as vetiver and of course the tobacco), but it is all softened (but not subdued) and made warm by the vanilla, and spicy by the cloves. Further, I feel like the plum is what truly uplifts this fragrance into not being heavier than it should be - bringing the balance. It's a subtle but genius move to put the living into the dying (fruit into ashes). The fragrance has a beautiful sillage, the cloudy quality of which reminds me of the "powderiness" of Karl Lagerfeld Classic or the original formulation of Dior Homme (only the quality of the sillage, the scent itself is not similar to these aforementioned). I feel like the sillage or projection of Tobacco is best done justice in winter or autumn (even the colour of the juice is like vividly brown autumn leaves), and whilst wearing it I feel very present in the moment. This fragrance suits a woman or a man who is calm with who s/he is. Confidence doesn't need to be shouted out with or asserted with a bold fragrance. Even classier, it can be done subtly with a simple yet complex truth just as this scent, and people will always think what they will. I feel like Tobacco certainly is the kind of fragrance that will catch attention, but it won't be the usual head-turner you might think of, the one that gets you compliments. No, I feel like this is the kind of fragrance that skips ahead of that flattery because it's superfluous. It has the potential of making a complete stranger want to sit you down right now and have a real human conversation with you while studying you very carefully. I really feel like Tobacco can draw people in, as it did with myself. Moderate sillage Longevity with two sprays 6-8h Scent 10/10

I honestly do not think I'll ever get over this scent, and often am thinking to myself why I do not own a backup. Sweet tobacco like a humidor that isn't edgy, with a plum sweetness that creates volume for the sweet aspect of the tobacco note, with a not-as-heavy but present clove as a third wheel -- the clove appears quickly -- and towards the end of the initial note envelope that once the clove appears, the three primary notes (tobacco, plum, and clove) blend into a pairing for the middle linearity of the fragrance. Traditionally masculine and a performer for the first half of it's wearing, I highly recommend this item for all of the readers whom have an affinity for a tobacco that is punchy, yet not-too-edgy, supported with a sweet plum top and bed of spicy clove. I can see an assertive, outgoing woman wearing this also; and, what a conversation starter that'd be. This item is simple and genius. I've long been searching for a tobacco fragrance I could wear that isn't a cinnamon, honey, nor other type like so many, and I feel I've finally found what I'm looking for with this. Relating to common items found in the same scent profile, Naxos has a honeyed ginger to me, Tobacco Vanille is a bit holiday-celebratory vanilla-esque with spices, 1821 is pure honey, Herod isn't as powerful and emphatic on the tobacco note with other things going on ... This is the tobacco I've been searching for -- tobacco center stage, with some plum nuance sweetnesses and clove to undulate an aspect of the tobacco in the dry down. If you, like me, have been looking for a bit simple, pleasant tobacco sent, I highly suggest trying a decant of this, hands down. This is so pleasing to me, that in fact, I will begin looking into others from this line -- Amber, and Leather, perhaps. Edit: easily top 10 in my personal collection, second bottle acquired. I've noticed that this has very poor longevity to the user (maybe I'm 'nose-blind'), but it doesn't really bother me reapplying, or spraying 6-8 times each application.

I like tobacco like perfumes so much. The most perfumes in this class have tobacco scene next to other materials like tonka, honey, vanilla, Amber and so on. But Tobacco by franck Boclet has a very natural scent versus other perfumes in this class. Tobacco by Franck Boclet has a tobacco scent that it is so similar to dry tobacco leaf not smoked. This brand isn't niche designer , but I believe that three perfumes of this brand that I had tested (Incense, Tobacco, Oud), have quality near niche perfumes. This perfume is a little similar to CK One Shock for him by Calvin Klein, But Calvin Klein is sweeter and fruity like than this one and silage and longevity in CK isn't huge like this perfume, but Longevity and silage in Tobacco by Franck Boclet is so huge... ------------------------------------------------------------------- من از عطرهایی که سبک تنباکویی داشته باشند خیلی خوشم میاد. اکثر عطرهای این سبک بوی تنباکو رو بصورت تقریبا خالص به نمایش نمیزارن و میتونین کاملا بوهایی مثل عسل؛ تونکا؛ کهربا و وانیل رو در کنارشون حس کنید. ولی این عطر به نظر من یه شاهکاره و بوی توتون رو بسیار طبیعی بازسازی کرده. بوی حاصله اصلا بوی توتون دود شده نیست. بویی هست که شما در حین بوییدن توتون خشک بسیار مرغوب حس میکنید بوی این عطر تا حد زیادی از نظر من شبیه به عطر سی کی شوک از برند کلوین کلین هست. با این تفاوت که کلوین کلین یه مقدار شیرین تر و میوه ای تر هستش و بوی تنباکو هم در سی کی شوک به طبیعی این عطر نیست و در ضمن سی کی شوک بوی تنباکوی دود شده رو میده در حالیکه این عطر همونطور که ذکر کردم؛ بوی توتون بسیار مرغوب خشک داخل پاکت رو میده با وجود اینکه این برند از برندهای نیش نیست؛ ولی سه تا از عطرهای این برند رو که تست کردم بنظرم در حد کارهای نیش هستند از نظر پخش بو و طول عمر هم که دیگه این عطر واقعا حرف نداره وفردی که این عطر رو میپوشه رو کاملا راضی میکنه

This is my next purchase! I have a sample of it and I can't stop sniffing it. It's a beautiful tobacco fragrance. And about the similar ones around in the popular ones, I'm ranking them by sweetness. TF - Tobacco Vanille: Yes, they have a similar vibe but TVanille is much sirupy sweeter then F.Boclet Tobacco. Zara - Rich/Warm/Addictive: I think they are the closest similar out of the four I own. But zara is a little bit honey like sweet, the sweetness in between TF TVanille and this Tobacco, and it has no longevity at all (2 hour). In F.Boclet Tobacco clove is stronger (to my nose it closer to cinamon then clove, but it's my nose), and it's much more longlasting (6-8 hour). F.Boclet - Tobacco: I already write the diferrence between them. I love all 4 of them, but the best side of this is the strong clove note (to me it's absolutly powder cinamon). So it's a must have for me as well. :) P.De Marly - Herod: I think they are not so similar, but yes, they have the tobacco vibe, so in thet category maybe. Herod is "drier", not thet sweet then the other ones, but still sweet in my tast. To my nose Herod is the perfect unisex fragrance, becouse it sometimes leans masculin and in the same time leans feminin. The other ones leans feminin to me becouse of the sweetness.

Finally added full bottle of this gem to my collection. It is almost identical to Phaedon Tabac Rouge, but slightly more masculine due to substitution of cinnamon with cloves and addition of some cedar and vetiver. Although it has a lot in common with Tom Ford Tabacco Vanille, I think it is not fair to compare them as they have different character, despite of similar scent profile. Which in turn calls for using them in different situations. Franck Boclet creation is less agressive and slightly less sweet. TF TV is for attending galla or large party, FB Tobacco is for party with small group of friends, first date, or even office in winter time. In my opinion it is safer blind buy for man than either TF TV or Phaedon Tabac Rouge. If you can find it, because it took me 8 years to finally get it here in US. It tend to be sold out in matter of days, if not hours after it pops up at retailers. It is 10/10 fragrance for me, and is my favorite from about dozen of Franck Boclet frags in my collection. As a matter of fact, I'll be buying me backup bottle ASAP, because I know it will be one of few bottles in my quite large collection I'll finish in less than 3 years.

Out of the several tobacco-centric fragrances I sampled, Franck Boclet Tobacco is one of the most interesting and unisex, or feminine leaning tobacco perfumes. I've always enjoyed tobacco fragrances. But I prefer tobacco fragrances tempered with vanilla, or sandalwood, florals, etc. I am a woman and while I refrain from gender categorizing fragrances, I do prefer a gentler, more "tobacco-flower," fragrance versus a full-on, ashy, burnt tobacco accord. First impressions and I really love Franck Boclet Tobacco. The opening is a pleasant, slightly spicy, gentle tobacco note with the nice addition of plum, ginger (not a favorite note) and CLOVES! I've discovered I love clove in perfumes. And I really enjoy the note when clove is well blended and balanced with tobacco!! Ten minutes into the wear, I detect warm, resinous woods, definitely some cedar. I told my husband, "This perfume's base-notes smell a bit like a hamster cage" but I meant it in the most complimentary way!! As it develops, a lovely, smooth, perfect vanilla beautifully balances out the fragrance. I am really liking this perfume! Franck Boclet "Tobacco" may be the winner.

Franck Boclet TOBACCO is a MASTERPIECE, Elegant, Classy, Spicy, Tobacco and Complex. You can't go wrong with it, If you like TOBACCO STYLE SCENT! It is the best Alternative for Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille, But Frank Boclet Tobacco is not similar to Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille Exactly, Or a Copy, It has a plum, cherry vibe undertones from the opening up to the dry down. It smells so good and very pleasant, I fell in love with it at first sniff ! I bought it blind-buy after reading the positive comments and I watched reviews on YouTube with reasonable price. It opens up with a bit sweet warm spicy and plum, cherry pipes vibe undertone, then dry down is semi sweet, smooth, warm spicy, vanilla and balsamic ambery. It is sweet but It is not cloying. This has a masterful Well-blended composition with High Quality. It perfect for the fall and winter, I really enjoy it, when the weather is very cold. Longevity is good. I'm so happy that I have it in my collection. Highly Recommend. Two Thumbs Up Bravo Monsieur Frank Boclet ! Rating : 9 / 10

I agree with the gentleman below. The sillage on this leaves must be desired it's not a very strong fragrance applying it directly to my skin it just doesn't really project very well but it's a very nice sweet very well Blended scent profile to be honest with you. Even with me and I moisturize and use lotion and everything I would probably give this a three and a half to four hour max judging on how strong the sillage is. You're going to have to reapply with this one in my opinion. But in terms of the actual set profile it's a winner for sure it's just you have to know how to moisturize and maximize your skin chemistry so this can help you in Social settings and you can smell it yourself. I would suggest carrying a traveler's decant with you if you want to have an actual night out. Edit: smells A LOT like a pumpkin spice latte.... Like unreal how much it does. I was expecting more tobacco.

Yep, I’m a fan of tobacco frags and I adore Franck Boclet’s perfumery for its quality. From this one I got a deep balsamic plum tincture, it’s kinda like portwine, but without squicking booziness. I’m a bit disappointed about the main cloves note, but the others are still very noticeable and the frag in general is really great. I’d even say it’s more masculine than unisex. Can’t detect much vetiver or ginger, but other notes are even a bit shouting. It’s a deep and bright frag, highly balsamic and sounding like a thick liquid. It’s highly rich in its notes and vibes in all of the meanings of the word “rich”! Idk, I also can detect some kind of agarwood, I guess? Like from old wine or cognac barrels. It also reminds me of Light my Fire by Kilian, just the vibes and their similar kind of sweetness that I love. Another masterpiece in my collection, yep.

Frank Boclet Tobacco is undoubtedly similar to Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille, so that much needs to be acknowledged upfront, as Tobacco is often connected to the TF masterpiece seven years its senior. There's not much not to like in Tobacco, as it's a mix of tobacco, spices (like clove), vanilla, benzoin, and an added note of ginger. There's not quite as much ginger in this as in Phaedon Tabac Rouge, wherein the ginger takes over and for me, ruins the fragrance a bit, but enough in Tobacco to make it somewhat spicier and less sweet (also due to less vanilla) than Tobacco Vanille. Tobacco's performance is fine but certainly falls well short of Tobacco Vanille, which is a significant detraction, but in general it's a great scent and one I might otherwise buy (more affordably than TV, at $135 for 100ml on Notino) if TV weren't so perfect already. 8 out of 10

This colonge is great 👍 I get tobacco,honey,plum and a lite clove but I noticed if your body temperature rises then the plum note comes out. I put the colonge on around 1pm went to work from 2:30 to 11 and it was still beast mode on me I could smell my own sillage all day. Also I emailed there customer service to verify that they sell it in a 1.7 once because I seen a review thinking it was fake and this was the reply Dear Client Tobacco is available in 50 ml as well 100 ml. Indeed, the 50 ml is not available on our shop online. Best regards Service Client / Customer Service FRANCK BOCLET Web: franckboclet.com Facebook: @franckbocletofficial Instagram: @franck_boclet_official_brand Soon as I smelled it I ordered the bigger bottle as a backup so I own the 1.7 and 3.4 once it's signature scent worthy 😜👌🏼💯💯 Damn this is good 🔥🔥🔥🔥

What I always wanted Tobacco Vanille to smell like. This blows the newer formulation of TV out of the water. It features a glorious fruity plum, vanilla, clove and woody cedar with a more pronounced tobacco note than TV. I also get ambery vibes from the benzoin. Smells deep, full and rich, like a good tobacco frag should. I get a solid 8 hours and pretty decent sillage. After a sample, I had to pull the trigger on a full bottle. It's difficult to find in the States, but if you find it it's definitely full bottle worthy. If you're looking for a rich, sweet tobacco frag, skip Tom Ford and get this instead. You'll save a hundred bucks and smell like a boss. Edit: Try layering this with Creed Royal Oud. It sweetens up the dryness and brings out the subtle tobacco notes of the Creed. Very nice.

I recently discovered this beautiful scent by chance. What can I say ? It is the love child of Tom Ford ́s Tobacco Vanille and Hermès ́Ambre Narguilé :-) More of the first but also hints of the second one mentioned. Very sweet, very gourmand, very christmassy. If you love TV and would like to save some money : go for the Boclet version. Where I live this scent retails for 125 Euro for 100ml of eau de parfum. With its good longevity this is a very acceptable alternative. I am almost a bit annoyed that I spent the money on TV 2 years ago...but then...I could not know this scent was in the making. Definitely thinking about getting this one also. It is a very comforting and super-delicious scent.

@CologneGuy49, I pulled the trigger on the $37 1.7 oz from fragrancenet last week, so it's funny you mention. I'm still waiting to hear some info as I've posted in the forum about this under the batch code/fake bottle thread in the men's category, but I received mine today...the "lot number" is different on the box than on the bottle. Pictures are linked in the forum post... Box did come wrapped neatly in cellophane. And smells as other reviews on line and Youtube have stated. Tobacco Vanille with a hint of spicebomb. I don't know. The lot number thing sketches me out although I haven't heard of these being faked as it's not a popular, highly sought after release.

You can buy 30 ml of TF TV for $150 or 100ml of F Boclet for $135 probably less I’m just going by what I’m seeing today. Very similar I get more of an overall tobacco vibe than I do with TV though I really love Tobacco Vanille which I couldn’t truly experience it’s greatness till the weather turned very cold. The Franck Boclet I get the plum along with some zing from the ginger in the opening where the overall feel is more of a humidor/wet tobacco one with dried fruit. Later on the scent becomes a drier tobacco with the spices kicking up a notch. Performance is quite good as opposed to Tobacco Vanille which I found to be incredible. Very good fragrance. 4.2/5

This was exactly what I was looking for. Tobacco forward opening with some pleasant fruitiness coming from the plum note. Then settles into a spicy and sweet tobacco, but not overly dense sweetness. Drydown is clove, vanilla, and persistent tobacco which is gorgeous. I love that tobacco is there from start to finish. Some similarities to TFTV but missing the strong dried fruit note which is exactly what I was looking for. I've never liked the sticky/sweet/sour smell of dried fruit, so the lack of it here makes it just right for me. If you're like me and dislike that note in TFTV then this is perfect for you. Sensational!

I am a BIG fan of tradition masculine scents, such as Leather and tobacco, so I recently picked up a bottle of Boclet Leather and Boclet Tobacco. I am very glad i did! Boclet Tobacco is similar to Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille, but not exactly the same as TV. There is more tobacco, but less vanilla than TV to my nose. Having said that, BT is very sweet. I also get a little bit of a balsamic vibe from BT. In my TV review I talk about the opening have a deep south "boiled peanuts" opening. BT does not have this. Bottom line: If you like Tobacco scents, you should try a sample of this one.

This is fantastic! To me, it comes off as the love child between TF Tobacco Vanille and Roja Enigma (two of my all time faves), without really smelling like either. It’s more reminiscent of TF TV with that dry tobacco note and dried fruits, but this has more tobacco and less spices (and no vanilla). It doesn’t smell like Enigma at all, but has the same “pop” from the ginger, which makes an otherwise heavy-ish scent sparkle and jump lightly off the skin. This popping ginger quality makes it, somewhat incredibly, an all-weather tobacco fragrance! Performance (for me) is great.

A wonderful, gently sweetened tobacco. I usually prefer tobacco scents to be even less sweet , but among sweet Tobacco Vanilla relatives this is a real hit. I like that it is balanced more towards tobacco than vanilla. The benzoin helps to make the vanilla darker, and the sweetening with plum and Tonka works really well. With time cedar makes itself more and more noticeable and in the dry down Franck Boclet Tobacco relies on benzoin and cedar to become a very nice and soft woody-tobacco. Whenever I want a sweat tobacco I will definitely turn to Boclet Tobacco.

Outstanding. Lucky enough to own a 10ml of TF Tobacco Vanille and around 50ml left of Al Haramain Oud Tobacco. This isn’t as harsh on the cloves as AHOT, and it’s not as well-rounded as TFTV, but it’s one magnificent tobacco fragrance in its own right. Even more so after picking up a 50ml bottle for $55AUD off FragranceNet. If you fancy nabbing yourself a 100ml bottle, buy 2x 50ml bottles. (Somehow, you’ll save yourself around $20AUD. No idea why). Longevity is easily 8-9 hours. Moderate to strong projection off 3 sprays. An absolute banger.
