Wild Tobacco

Sweet pipe tobacco. If you're into the smell of tobacco you'll love this, although it's pretty strong. Happily I love all the other ingredients - tonka, castoreum, cedar - so this is one of my favourite smells. Basically the smell of a pipe smoker without the ash. To me, it's heavenly. It's niche though - right up there with "Soil" and "Grass". Possibly, the smell of "Grandfather". Anyway, not a blind buy, but tobacco fans should give it a try :)

Very nice sweet tobacco scent. I like this better than Tobacco Vanille.

For me the opening is green grass, followed quickly by a strong heart of anise smoldering below is a sharp kind of smoke or resin, also a bit sweet. I suppose this is labdanum, but I haven't smelled labdanum in this combination before. I think it presents a convincing mental portrait of wild tobacco, whatever that might be in reality. It's not easy to wear, but well worth a try. I predict it will be polarizing, which means that you might really love it.

The top note of clary sage is not in question though clove buds is more singular, while the fanfare prescribed of herb and spice is closer to a radio shack ditty. Do not wait too long for the blast of cedar-wood or tobacco leave mid=notes, they are akin to a poor bus service inasmuch as they sometimes appear for a short while, yet at other times not at all. It's base of labdunum is quickly noted and holds well for a few hours or so. Wild tobacco is might be named but the closest I got was a hint of a mild Camel from a cardboard carton. To be fair I checked my findings with a few others, none of which had anything positive to report. Obviously there is a stark difference twixt my findings and that of others giving a more positive review, to which I might surmise that the shelf life of this product is perhaps extremely limited.

Illuminum Wild Tobacco opens a bit sweet but swiftly veers in the beaver (castoreum) direction. The cloves are competing to be the star of this show, and it's a close call. What is not very noteworthy is the tobacco itself. It's really just clobbered by the castoreum and the clove. This perfume has big sillage and formidable longevity. But who wants to smell like a beaver studded with cloves?

Smoky and ashy with sweetness. Imagine an ashtray from yesterday with some vanilla sticks on a side. Crazy stuff

too much tobacco ....hate it....put it away for a swap someday

Wild Tobacco certainly took me on a journey; one of interest and uniqueness. This is a gentleman's club, where the rich mahogany wooden panelling adorning the walls hasn't been polished or conditioned in a while and has started to dry... perhaps even to crack. Straight off the bat this starts off very strong and potent, and during this faze it is perhaps best enjoyed from afar (for others). Whilst this isn't a perfume to over apply, it has been my experience that it is the way you apply this fragrance that will determine the route of your journey. Spraying sparingly, you are grasped by a sense of dryness and gentle warmth. The tobacco on display here is of Virginian source, but seems that it has had its moisture drawn away. You get the same if you slightly apply to clothing. Strangely, I find this lasts much longer if applied to woolen objects, where previous experience has always favoured cotton. I find there is little development apart from a mixed spiciness, but the initial rawness is smoothed out, but not too much. Spray this more moderately, and the full richness of the ingredients literally radiate from you. For many this will be overbearing, but on nights out in cold weather, this to me is wonderful. A slight sweetness does make an appearance, but the lack of overpowering incense drives this fragrance to better development. The temperature gets warmer and warmer the more you apply, and I have adored wearing this fragrance on frosty afternoons taking my dogs for a long walk over local misty fields. Perhaps it is the extra moisture in the air adding something, but in those moments I personally feel fantastic about myself and life in general. Overall, this is a late Autumn or Winter fragrance. It has good projection and silage, and who cares if others dislike this fragrance... save it for those moments where you are alone and in need of cheering up!

I've been looking for a great Tobacco dominant fragrance. Many frags that our community say are Tobacco dominant like Herod, or Lutens Chergui are not tobacco dominant. I just tried Wild Tobacco. I like that it does feel tobacco dominant. It is in an accord with a strong clove note, but the dominant feel is a dry tobacco. I would like the Tobacco here to be more moist, and more like a fine cigar. Wild Tobacco smells like a cigarette tobacco. It's not the most aromatic tobacco. This reminds me of Aramis Havana, but better quality. This smells like a mature classic fragrance. I am 62, and I like great classics like Hermes Equipage. This is pretty good. I like it more than Herod as a tobacco dominant frag. I don't love this enough to pay $100. I would pay $50. I will enjoy my 5 ml of Wild Tobacco, and will see if it grows on me. PS: I think I found the best Tobacco frag out there. It's Tobacco Franck Boclet. Many agree it's like TF Tobacco Vanille, but with stronger tobac and less vanilla, more wearable!

Beautiful. Just received today, currently a bargain on the website in older style packaging. Even a complimentary 50ml of a different fragrance thrown in with orders at the moment. Amazing if you are someone like me that gets excited enough by a couple of bonus samples. Wild Tobacco is so good, it actually lives up to my expectations and really hits the spot for my tastes. Just what I was looking for. Big, powerful, dry & spicy tobacco meeting equal parts rich deep cloves. I strongly associate the smell with an unlit kretek cigarette, like opening a fresh box. It even reminds me of a particular packet, just can’t put my finger on which variety or brand it was. The undercurrent of a polite castoreum is just there to round everything out and add extra depth. Very ‘masculine’ in the traditional sense, although I’d be in love with a girl wearing this and wouldn’t want to stop sniffing them (not in a weird way... probably). I think if you appreciate Clubman Bay Rum you would probably be interested in this one, for the clove explosion.

TOP NOTES: CLARY SAGE, CLOVE BUDS HEART : TOBACCO LEAVES, VIRGINIAN CEDAR WOOD BASE NOTES: LABDANUM If clary sage, tobacco and cloves make you think about those classic (challenging) powerhouse masculines from the past, get ready for a big disappointment. Wild Tobacco is anything but wild. A slightly honeyed pipe-tobacco note paired with some cloves while labdanum provides some more sweetness. Overall it smells unbalanced and definitely unpleasant. Tom Ford's Tobacco Vanille lovers might want to give it a chance though...Not for me, sorry. Rating: 4/10

tri_dat: dont know why people compare this to TV, Tobacco Oud or Eau De Baux, I have all of them and clearly the tobacco in here definitely goes on another path. In the opening you can recognize the overdose version of tobacco leaf in Aramis Tobacco Reverse, after around 30min the scent dry down becomes very similar compared to the legendary Odori Tobacco. This is kind of raw wild indie type of tobacco scent, and the most identical scent in the game is surely definitely Odori Tobacco. Not for everyone but worth collecting. I love it !

YES it IS the cloves I'm smelling at max mixed with minty tobacco & minimal Tonka beans for the mild sweet with some clary sage. It has that tingling factor that screams greens and held the wild scenery on spot as I CAN REALLY SENSE THE WILD but more of WILD CLOVY. It is one of the beat fragrances from this house to be honest but be careful cause this juice is chili pepper hot as I feel that hot note while I am wearing it and I guess it's from the cloves.

Absolutely gorgeous for a night out especially during the winter. Masculine and unusal scent from the illuminum vaporizor line. The pungent note of cloves dry down pretty quickly, giving space to the virginian tobacco leaves and cedarwood. Definetly not an everyday fragrance, i only use it rarely to go out and only at night. Always been appreciated from everyone. Tobacco lovers, give it a go! 8/10

I find the opening of pipe tobacco and amber very interesting; it may be the labdanum however, it's really nice and sweet whatever it is! The cloves add some bitterness to the sweetened tobacco, I would have preferred maybe cinnamon but if the sweetness is a labdanum then it's pretty impressive to me. But it's still a bit overpriced for what youre getting. 7/10.

Wild Tobacco is a total mess on my skin. This one starts with a pure tobacco note! A clear not burnt tobacco resembling a real pipe aroma. Over time this tobacco mixes with a tea note, maybe a chamomile tea combination that still smelling unpleasant on my skin. Anyway, a must PASS in my opinion. Very disappointed with it.

The reviewer below doesn't know why it's compared to Tobacco Vanille? Maybe its because they have similarities! For me, it was Wild Tobacco that made me appreciate the cacao/chocolate note in TV. Ultimately this was more 'raw' than wild, so I didn't keep it.
