Tobacco D'Feu

To my nose the opening is very very similar to Tom Ford’s Tobacco Oud. A bit less forgiving on the mid, a bit more oriental. It dries down to a warm amber and smoky scent. Very pleasant. Great performance. If you can stand the animalic mid, this could be your alternative to the sadly discontinued Tobacco Oud. Over all, a 4.5/5 :D

Nose Note #156 The first 3-5 minutes it's absolute torture. One of the most revolting things I've. Not the tobacco-mandarin combo you would expect. If this is tobacco, then it's the chain-smoker's twenty years old car-ashtray. No tangerine-mandarin, maybe a tiny hint when it develops That being said. After 5 minutes it actually starts to become very interesting. Hard nut. The definition of a niche fragrance - meaning not for everyone Upd. after three months: It grew on me. I think that in a way it's a heads up to the old school with its oriental elements. Now I definitely find it pleasant. Interesting blend, amazing quality, performance and price. Not a blind buy, but if you know what you are getting into, you may like it a lot.

People here are very harsh. It’s fair to say I have a tolerant nose and thought I call a spade a spade. This is a gorgeous dry fresh cigar smell, full stop. I saw a comparison to Byredo Tobacco Mandarin praising its virtues over this as the original. I find Tobacco Mandarin extremely expensive and completely boring with meh performance. This is a great buy if you like a straight forward tobacco, which I do, this is very much in the vein of Atelier Cologne Tobacco nuit - a caramelised dry sweet slightly ashes blonde tobacco. Try layering this under V&R Spicebomb - it’ll blow you away...

Tobacco, smokey incense lane. Evening formal, cold weather. 4 stars, moderate across the board. I like the mandarin opening - a statement - you will smell different than so many others . Yes, I can enjy it. Smells like a Gentlemen.

The note breakdown was appealing to me, so I decided to give this a try. When I first used it, the scent profile was exciting; it was really reminiscent of “fall.” It was airy but, at the same time, dry, and a slight darkness was there, which was, for me, a real definition of “fall.” Have to tell you, this perfume on skin gives really different vibes compared to when sprayed in the air: on skin, it doesn’t give me that airy, fresh oud type of smell, but in the air it’s very prominent. I like the aromatic undertone it goes really well with the oud but the opening gives me a sour scent profile, probably caused by cumin. The performance is what makes it a REALLY MID perfume for me. I get, like, maybe 5–6 hours on skin; even if I oversprayed, it didn’t really help much, and for me it’s a skin scent and the projection wasn’t good. Maceration didn’t really help the scent either, as I let it sit for 2–3 months. I do like the notes here individually, but when put together in this perfume, I just found it mid. Gives me a really old grandpa type of profile.
