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.

Excellent opening, it has a lot of very robust, smoky tobacco and spice in a way that feels similar to the kind of tobacco you'd smoke in a pipe, but it's elegantly controlled (so unlike something like Red Tobacco, this one doesn't feel like it's assaulting you). Although I usually am not a fan of tonka, the tonkabean does help support the tobacco and make it very smooth. I did have to wait some time (1-2 hours) on skin before the vanilla notes started to become more noticeable. If you like a good tobacco that's not sticky-sweet, this is going to be right up your alley.

Here we fly... Exceptional. I have no words to describe it, short and citrusy opening, heart composed of a very delicate, pleasant and not loud tobacco, accompanied by leathery notes and vanilla. A marvel, you can feel it, it has a trail, it is persistent. Perfect. And when something strikes me like this, there's no point in dwelling on descriptions. On wishlist, I love it. Exceptional for autumn and winter. “Mary Magdalene in ecstasy” by Caravaggio, I feel a little like it right now, I'm entranced.

Mmmmmmmm absolutely delicious tobacco scent!!! It has also the qualities of a wet booze tobacco with some sweet, dark, slightly animatic qualities. It starts a but naïve with some dried honeyed fruit note but than it develops into heavier leathery scent with spicy undertones. Follow me on IG: scent.guide

Very creamy, lots of tonka/Coumadin and almonds heliotrope. Not very Smokey; I’d even say there’s some anise here. The rose oil? You can pick it up, gives it a fruity tone. A nice, somewhat edible, sweet, silky, creamy, almonds tobacco approach that, in my opinion, undoubtedly has some vintage aspects.

Tabac Nomade is a winner...tobacco, saffron, vanilla, and maybe a pinch of leather...doesn’t play games...the tobacco is prominent, no hidden tobacco tucked away here...also doesn’t go into the “kool aid” territory that a lot of these tobacco fragrances go...powerful & unapologetic...big fan!

Opening starts off kinda harsh with robust tobacco, spices, and leather, and some bergamot in the background. The harshness mellows out into a smooth, Side Effect-like scent with added vanilla. Very realistic tobacco leaf in this, you can almost taste it.

Beautiful fragrance. Well blended and well done. Absolutely enormous projection. Sadly, it’s too sweet for my taste. If you like sweet tobacco fragrances this is a must have.

Finally, it's official now. Very good Tobacco perfume. To me, it sits between Dior Tobacolor and 18.21 man-made sweet tobacco. They share some similarities.

This in incredible. Even for someone who owns multiple high end tobacco based frags. Almost a creamy claylike vibe. Sweet, buttery smooth tobacco. 9/10

This smells almost exactly like Dior Tobacolor. 9/10

Tabac nomade is a very warm spicy and tobacco fragrance. Although it's a tobacco fragrance it is like a crystal, it is smooth, radiant, and crystalline feeling. Besides tobacco, warm spices and saffron are the two important notes in this fragrance. It's not an ashy or burnt or rough type of tobacco. The scent gives me the feeling of bright red color like molten glass. Interestingly, the brand describes the fragrance as reminiscent of a sunset in the wild desert. This is exactly the concept for Sundowner, another tobacco fragrance, which is my favorite. The fragrance is created very masterfully, it's very well-blended, and the notes are in harmony. It's very strong. If you like strong fragrance, I highly recommend this one. 8/10

I've tried this yesterday and let me start by saying that on my skin the longevity and sillage was beast mode, 2 sprays on my wrist and I was getting wiffs trhoughout the evening, really impressive. Regarding the scent, it is a very well balanced sweet tobacco scent. I was getting a really nice and well done blend of sweet and creamy base, bridged by a powdery spice (probably the saffron but I don't really know what saffron smells like) leading to a dry, clean and warm tobacco leaf. If you are searching for a sweet, warm and creamy tobacco fragrance, give this a try, it is really well blended and elevated. IMO very nice quality

Tabac Nomade is far from being a generic tobacco fragrance; the note smells like the leaves (tabac brun) drying on racks and baled after the late Summer harvest in S.W. France. Aromatic and resinous; slightly intoxicating; the scent of ash already prefigured in the rich brown raw material. There is leather here too but in a very well behaved incarnation. Tonka, saffron and vanilla are well balanced but of bergamot and rose my nose can discern no trace. An elegant invention and eminently wearable. I like it very much.

Once you get through the difficult opening you're left with a strong saffron with a tobacco undertone that I just can't stop smelling on my skin! If you spray this one 20-30 minutes before going out, it's worth the wait. Not blind buy worthy, but the lighter take on tobacco makes for a unique and special scent. I get 2-3 hours of great performance, followed by a moderate bubble for the next 4 hours afterwards.

I get the first four notes in abundance. This is really nice. It projects well and 12 hours later I am still aware of it. After sitting on the shelf for a couple of months the rose is much more noticeable.

I find it an ideal smokey fragrance for gourmand lovers. Don't overdo it when spraying, the saffron can become too much for your nose.

I kind of like the scent. Not too sweet, almost mouthwatering, even slightly milky. Very interesting!

A strange plasticky note developed on my skin after about half an hour. The spices come through, but that odd note hits my nose first. I think it's the mix of leather and saffron. Most scents take on a sweet powderiness on me, even if they don't have anything in them that would normally smell like that. Whatever it is about my chemistry that turns perfume into baby powder could only manage plastic with Tabac Nomade. Sadly, I don't like it. Update: The strange note I didn't like disappeared after another hour or two. After that, it's pleasant, but too masculine for me. And now, I can report that this stuff is ETERNAL. I scrubbed my wrist, and the next day, I could still smell a trace of it there.

The tobacco leaves (slightly smoky) mixed with the saffron give this scent a slightly Oudy facet and with the mix of spices and rose this scent has a Middle eastern twist. I personally dont like it, the tobacco is not in the upfront, this is basically a spicy, woody floral scent...the name is somewhat misleading

Saffron, rose and vanilla is the foundation for most "Oud/Rose" fragrances on the market today. Saffron aromachemicals are inherently powerful and tend to overtake parts of a composition. In this fragrance, the first hour I get overwhelmingly "modern oud rose", followed by a hefty dose of isobutylquinoline's green damp leather, followed by sandalwood and woody ambers. Please guys, don't let hype, price, packaging and marketing blind you to the truth. I LOVE Fougère Royale, but the other releases are a massive let down.

Can't say i like the first 10 minutes of this scent, too off putting, sorry

This was absolutely horrible to me... I own a LOT of tobacco fragrances and sampled even more. I own Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille, PDM Carlisle and Herod, Daniel Josier Ambre Tabac, Franck Boslet Tobacco, Mancera Red Tobacco, CH Mystery Tobacco.... This is absolutely terrible and no where near the quality of a tobacco as the above mentioned. It came off with a Houbligant Fougere Royal note and rose/floral something... a dirt cigarette tobacco.. and plastic. I got my sample from Scent Split or Luckyscents and I am glad I just had a sample. I thought I would love this and it was a scrubber. Definitely try this before you buy this. I am so thankful I did!

Un tabac/cuir puissant et fort , un peu trop meme... Presque le meme adn que Red Tobacco de Mancera Le tabac est photo réaliste et le fait qu'il soit couplé à du cuir rend le tout écoeuran. À porter si vous êtes fan de Johnny Hallyday,motard de plus de 50 ans , combi de cuir avec les bottines et que vous descendez 1 packet de malboro par jour. Mesdames , abstenez-vous , c'est un parfum pour homme poilu et barbu

Repulsive was the first word that came to my mind Such a nauseating abomination I can’t believe how bad this is Even after a while it was very annoying I had to throw my shirt away The real problem is it’s my first frag from the brand and it gave me such a impression I hope it’s not going to influence me further It lasts for as long as you want Imagine wearing a scent you hate for a whole day that was me

Any tobacco leaf and any of it's dry, hay, leathery facets seem to be almost drowned out by the gloopy wave of vanillin and the overbearing sweetness of tonka. I like Luca Maffei and I like Antoine Lie (alot) but this is too saccharine.

The tobbaco note here is more of a suggestion- it's tucked away and it's form is obscured within the warm, leathery-floral heart. It's probably a let-down if you expect a pungent, herbaceous complexity from your tobacco accords, but I think there's still something nice here. Honestly if I didn't read the name and didn't see the note list I may not have even guessed there's a tobacco note past the first hour or so. Instead I get what feels like a hazy collection of disparate pieces of one- a soft, hay-like cozy sweetness, the bitter pang of a saffron note wrapped up in a honeyed suede...dried fruits and spices and a balsamic nuttiness from the tonka. I've heard real tobacco absolute doesn't smell like what you'd expect though, so maybe that's the case here. Anyways, there's definitely an almond-like quality to this, which makes me think of L'homme Ideal by Guerlain but toned down and less saturated. The rose makes an impact too- pushing this into a dandy kind of gentleman's scent with a mild fruity freshness coloring the ambery hues. It's velvety, comforting, and sophisticated like you'd expect from a smooth amber. Like other Houbigant fragrances this exists in a mass-appealing, modern framework with good attention to detail. It's not innovating or trying to be super unique, but it feels well constructed. For some negatives- they've perhaps reached too far into the "approachable" sector by relegating the tobacco to an ashy afterthought, but I'm kind of liking how the nutty, doughy, soft-amber facets intermingle with the smoke for a gentle, almost relaxing experience.

This fragrance is creamy, sophisticated, and alluring. The blend of floral, spicy, and earthy notes creates a complex and captivating scent experience. When you first apply the perfume, you will notice a burst of refreshing bergamot combined with the delicate scent of roses and a hint of spices. This opening accord sets a warm and crystalline tone. As the fragrance develops, the heart notes come into play. The tonka bean adds a warm and sweet aroma, while saffron contributes a touch of exotic richness. The tobacco leaves bring an earthy and smoky note, adding depth and complexity to the scent. In the base notes, the fragrance takes on a sensual character. The leather accord adds a sophisticated and slightly musky element, while the touch of vanilla introduces a subtle sweetness and warmth.

Smells like Initio Side Effect but even stronger. Maybe too strong. It lasts eternal. Hope you like saffron. It's a little much for me but I have a bottle and still spray it here and there just to experience it. Unfortunately, I just bought side effect tho and after realizing how similar they smell, tabac nomade is just part of my collection now.

There’s a sweet smokiness to it from the tobacco that comes through a lot. In fact it’s the heart of the perfume. Its almost like tobacco vanilla tom ford vibes but with much more sweetness and spice that gives it a kick. And yet this is soft, not punchy and irritating to the nose. Id say leans masculine though

Possiedo una bottiglia intera di Qatar di Roja e ho ricevuto questa mattina un sample di Tabac Nómade, a prima impressione per me sono molto molto simili. Entrambi buonissimi ma Tabac Nómade ho bisogno di testarlo meglio

Beautiful, beautiful tobacco scent. Hugely underrated too. Sweet, warm, rich, hypnotic. It's got that soft bite to it without being offensive at all. Pipe tobbacoey, mafioso vibes drinking amaretto.

Very boring, nothing special ! If you want a real Tobacco scent go for Wild Tobacco by Illuminum. Wild Tobacco smells like I’m back in the cigar factory in Havana.

Tobacco dominated but goes gourmand just like alghabra cuban tobacco. Delivers nice tobacco quality (as well as cuban tobacco) but still not really my cup of tea.

Probably the only one perfume that I could make love with. I imagine this wore by a very sexy billionaire young beautiful lady, that nobody can reach.

Not a fan of this one. It is either the smokiness or the leather that is ruining it for me . Test before you buy

Very rich. Reminds me of cigars. Photorealistic tobacco leaf. Mob boss vibes. It’s so rich. Addictive to smell.

Strong, high quality perfume but I don't like it because I hate tobacco! This is deep rich ambery and dry.

Tabac Nomade, by Houbigant, smells like tobacco leaves, leather, Chai spices and saffron.

Anybody want to trade this fragrance or something else for a 95% full smoking hot?

This is simply the best tobacco fragrance I have ever experienced!

Very similar to Carolina Herrera Mystery Tobacco.

Sticky, sweet, nothing special.
