Le Tabac

Nice green apple Jolly Rancher top note that quickly turns into apple cobbler. The notes above seem all wrong. They should replace rose with spices. The perfume seems potentially fresh at first, but it becomes cozy very quickly. It's not long before I am ooohing and ahhhing as the scent of pipe tobacco drifts up to my nose. Makes the most perfect autumn perfume. Le Tabac reminds me a lot, maybe too much, of Ambre Narguile. Ambre Narguile is more spectacular and glitzy, like Vegas at night. Le Tabac is more relaxed and approachable. Since I own Ambre Narguile, I am not sure a full bottle of Le Tabac makes sense for me, but it is surely tempting and I love the fresh apple in the top versus the rum-soaked raisin opening of Ambre Narguile. This is what I thought Costamor Tabacca would be. I like Le Tabac much better and feel it is more representative of real tobacco. I could smell it all day long, and it easily lasted 12+ hours, no problem.

Very nice fruity tobacco. The apple is very noticeable and behaves well, not leaning towards cloying at all. The whole composition is cheerful and wearable. Definitely one of the best from the recent crop of L'Antichambre. Totally unisex imo.

Priest need Nuns, doctors need nurses and perfume enthusiast need Le Tabac. I speak fluent gourmand and this is definitely an edible offering. Clydesdales, snow globes, scented ornaments and snow capped mountains are a few things that come to mind when wearing this fragrance. I guess you can never have too many Ambre Narguile clones in your collection. Consider this as a cheaper, drier and less boozier option than the Hermes juggernaut. No fictionals here, real fragrance times four.

*L'Antichambre - Le Tabac Here we have a sweety tobacco scent that gives us also a fruty accord with sugar feeling - same way used by Hilde Soliani on Dolciiissimooo and Bel'Antonio (i'm a bit tired of these kind of tobacco, not being natural and oversweet). Tobacco here is not dark because we have some floral notes which bring some brightness to the skin (but i could not detect the rose itself - only light flowers of any kind) Here's a soft usage of tobacco.

Le Tabac strikes as a very competent sweet boozy tobacco composition that could have easily been one of the most accomplished *Frapins*. Sort of an ambery fruitchouli with a consistent pipe-tobacco twist. Sweet, well rounded and smooth and with enough body to remark its presence throughout the day. Now, with very few exceptions made, I'm not really into these kind of fragrances but if you are, this surely delivers. Rating: 7/10

A wonderful, complex amber scent, reminds me very powderfully of Parfum d'Empire's Ambre Russe, except that it lacks the boozy, sweaty notes. Fruity, rich, deep golden amber. Lovely
