Tabac Nomade

This is a brilliant tobacco, earthy, leafy and smoky. If they included boozy notes and honey I’d believe them. There’s some associations I get here, this has the Tobacolor effect, it’s smoky, ashy and honeyed. I could also briefly feel a BR vibe, like a crystallised sweetness most likely coming from the saffron. But that’s where it ends. They don’t smell alike, and funny enough those are the associations I get with Tobacolor also. I get a sparkling booziness. It’s fizzy smelling and sugary. If the notes said rum and champagne, again I’d believe them. This is where I get Rivalite Imperiale by plume Impression vibes. They also share similar notes. Then the base is rounded off with a leather, Tonka and vanilla blend. Despite all the comparisons, and as a tobacco lover, this is still good enough, and unique enough to warrant owning. But that’s just me, I’m not your financial advisor. I do however highly recommend you trying this.

I hope this never gets the hype it truly deserves. Give it 5 years or so though, and this will be one of those fragrances people are discovering as a "hidden gem". I got a sample, gave it a full wear, then immediately picked up a full bottle. If it popped up on discounters, I would pick up a back up bottle so quick! Blonde tobacco & saffron balanced with rose & vanilla. I love the way this smells on my skin and, in every stage of development, it's impressive. In the air, it smells as smooth as warm cashmere feels and with a brightness I usually get from fragrances with a champagne accord. I can see this working year round and complimenting any outfit from business casual on up. Its elegant yet versatile with the perfect sillage. Once again, I hope this never gets the hype it truly deserves. I don't need everybody to smell like this and I'd love the price to drop so I can pick up 1-2 more bottles.

WOW , Amazing Fragrance ! Elegant, Classy, Spicy, Airy, Modern and Complex. You can't go wrong with it, I tried it in store and I received a sample of that. This perfume has High Quality Composition and Well-blended. Tabac Nomade was on my Radar and I bought it after two weeks. I fell in love with it at first sniff. It opens up with slightly sweet creamy citrusy, fruity, floral rose and spices notes in the background then dry down is semi sweet Vanilla, Tobacco , Ambery and Leathery . This is perfect for the Spring, Fall and Winter, Longevity is very good. The Leather, Rose ,Tobacco Leaf and Vanilla notes are dominant in this perfume. Highly Recommended. Two Thumbs Up. Bravo Houbigant ! Rating : 9 / 10

Okay - after a thorough wear of this frag, i can definately say it is ETERNAL. I sprayed it on my hand yesterday around 4 pm, and can by now still smell it like a soft vanilla, with hints of tobacco. This stuff is magical and defo lasts. It opens up bright and floral, then later settles like a candy ish tobacco, and when you hit the 5-6 hour mark its more of a slightly leathery, creamy, tobac scent. It is honestly amazing, despite this being the first tobac fragrance i smelled. I will buy the full bottle next week for sure. It says that there is saffron, but i dont really get that at all. This is NOT a safe blind buy, and its an aquired taste.

Alright people, short and sweet, this is a cheaper and less complex alternative to Dior Tobacolor. I'm not throwing shade, I really wanted to love this. I've not had much luck with houbigant smell-wise but I really like those art nouveau bottles, alas this isn't it for me. HOWEVER it is a good fragrance people! Just not one that does its own thing. But if you like Tobacolor or that awful kilian shisa thing, but hate the price, this is for you! In my neck of the woods I can get it for about 100 euros on the grey, these days that price is basically a unicorn. Hope this helps, that's what I aim for with my reviews.
