Sacre Tabac Sucre

I had a full bottle of this thanks to a lovely fragrance friend of mine who swapped it to me oh-so-generously a while back. Initially I LOVED it. It had this beautiful, huge opening of juicy sweet invigorating green apple shisha (aka flavored hookah smoking tobacco)! Unfortunately it also got scratchy like real shisha does when you're getting to the end of the bowl, too, so that little itch ended up buggin' me too much to stay in love with it. I do wonder now if that was a weather dependent thing though, because I didn't remember getting any of that little scratchy smoking tobacco vibe before. Anyway if you like shisha, apple/tobacco combo, or all natural scents, try it if you can!

Ill do a review for the sacre tabac cacao torride here since well that isnt on the site for some reason.. Perhaps if I were to try to describe it, say you make some hot chocolate. And place it on a wood table, but its well scorching hot. Bubbling even. Maybe you had put some whip cream on the hot chocolate and that is now dispensing in the air and filling the room. So all in the air this smokey whip cream, and aura of tobacco as well is bringing you closer to the hot chocolate. But as said this hot chocolate is super hot. To the point that the cup it self burnt and charred the wooden table its on a bit given it a bit of harshness. So you dont come to close and just enjoy the whip cream and tobacco in the air. As it goes on the whip cream tinge dries down, and you get more of a thick slightly harsh chocolate with some tobacco... And then finally that dies down and finally you finish your cup of hot chocolate. You still have some chocolate dusty powder on the table that missed your cup when you were making the hot chocolate in the first place and some is even floating in the air. The wood gives off a slightly scratchy feel... I liked it, happily surprised. The first hour or two when its at its strongest its a bit harsh up close, but the bubble around you is quite nice. After that although its a thick scent throughout the bubble becomes much closer. But say compared to say coco blanc this performed better that ive tried. Also on that comparison personally imo although I was disappointed that coco blanc was not as gourmand as I was hoping, this I can actually see perhaps for some people being almost novelty its so chocolatey. Although admitedly again it does have a bit of a harshness to it. For me id say in my top 5 chocolate fragrances ive ever smelled.

I purchased this sample several months back, but have not worn it until today. I am glad I did. This is a beautiful scent. Very well blended and very high quality. I get a very sophisticated gourmand with touches of fruit. Sweet, but not cloying so. I get good longevity and moderate projection on my skin. I see this as a unisex fragrance. It can be worn in trendy casual or a sports coat. If you like gourmands, this one is worth a sample.

One of the most delicious tobacco fragrances ever!

smells like shisha.. tobacco and molasses.
