Tobacco Touch

Compared to tobacco vanille, they are quite close! This is a pretty well done clone, especially for the price. Now is it exact? Of course not. Tobacco Vanille has a dusty feel to it, if that makes any sense. Tobacco touch has a hint of that, but not in the way the original does. There is also a cocoa powder smell that is missing from this fragrance. It's not super noticeable in the original, but it does add something to it's richness. If you haven't smelled any version, then I'll do my best to describe it. The first and most important detail is the tobacco note. This is not really a cigarette or cigar smell, it's really more like a "candied" tobacco in my opinion. It's like ribbon cut tobacco if you caramelized it. Not photo-realisticaly mind you, but that is the vibe it gives off. This blends well with a very "dusty" vanilla that has this nice powdery feel to it. This can be quite cloying if you're in any sort of heat at all. These details work together with plenty of spices that make a very cohesive and lovely spicy sweet scent. Most people that have smelled tobacco vanille when I wear it tend to really like it, but the few that don't like it REALLY don't like it. Do keep that in mind :) Performance is very good for me, much like the original. Projection is pretty good, more than I would like to be honest with you! Overall, a fantastic alternative at a reasonable price! I would definitely pick this up if you like tobacco scents or like the original version. If this particular "clone" was a song it would be Tom's Diner by Suzanne Vega. It has a lot of the character and the main features, but it lacks in a bit of the backbone that you may miss if you love the other version. Much the way Tom's Diner is with the DNA version. A solid alternative in my personal opinion!

This is my second review on this fragrance. Lattafa what have you done... they created a nuclear bomb in a form of liquid. Let me tell you my story with this masterpiece; So I’m invited to my friend’s wedding 2 weeks before the wedding.(Which was on May 18) First item I decided to look for is a special occasion fragrance, so I went to Sephora and researched 15 different fragrances but my eyes fell on Tom ford Tobacco Vanille, sprayed it on myself and said “This is perfect” Now we all know how expensive TF Fragrances are, So I searched for dupes and found this beauty, After searching reviews on the internet I was convinced to buy it and I IMMEDIATELY fell in love with it. Performance was crazy lasting to the next day on shirt but I thought nothing of it because a lot of fragrances do that, what even surprised me more was that it was still on me even after showering. Fast forward 2 weeks and I wear this masterpiece to his wedding and firstly, I got a fair amount of compliments on it but I could smell it on me the entire time. When I returned to my home I just placed that shirt on the side and never thought of anything. Now, today I was reorganizing my closet and I smell a faint amount of vanilla, I said “No way that’s from that one dupe I sprayed that day, Right?” So I smelt the shirt and the scent was STILL There! I’ve NEVER Saw a fragrance last this long in my entire life, I’ve seen niche and designer lasting like a week on shirts but 2 MONTHS? Crazy thing is I had the shirt that I sprayed the OG on but there was no trace of the fragrance on it What’s even crazier is Tobacco touch is 5% the price of Tobacco Vanille in my country Maison Al hambra made a fragrance that I’m not sure I’ll ever see anything like it.

Compared to Charuto Tobacco Vanille, Tobacco Touch has more Tobacco. Charuto is sweeter, smelling akin to Vanilla extract. If you're looking for a slightly more rugged take, go with this. If you want a sweeter take that slightly veers away from masculinity, go Charuto. Tobacco Touch is a stronger performer, but Charuto isn't too far. I think more people would be pleased by Charuto. People would rather be smelling Vanilla than Tobacco. But as someone who's looking for a more masculine scent, I like Tobacco Touch better. Update 1 day later: The projection from the initial spray was balanced up to the 4-hour mark. I like it for that. Some perfumes are overwhelming on first spray but drastically loses projection in a short time. This lasted a total of 8 hours. Not too bad! Update 2 months-ish later: The notes are becoming better put-together after maceration. You get a realistic, strong projecting unsmoked tobacco at the opening. Kind of unfitting in a casual setting and might turn off some non-smokers. But 1 hour in, it slowly surfaces a cacao vanilla scent. The scent becomes more mass-appealing because of the radiating Vanilla. Tobacco is still there, but it plays along with the cacao. What you get is a dusty cacao, that may not sound pretty on paper, but it smells like a matured million bucks type of guy. Then comes in the Vanilla floating on top to sweeten things up. Just a beautiful mix of notes. It now projects for 5-6 hours on me and lasts 10 hours on skin.

This is one of most budget friendly Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille clones out there. There are plenty other available from Pendora, Fragrance World but you won't regret or miss out on anything if you choose this. It's extremely close to the Tom Ford and although lacking in performance in comparison, this does fairly well. Lasts a good 6-7 hrs on my skin and about 10-12 hrs on fabric and the dry down lasts for over a day on fabric. Sillage is decent but projection is pretty close to the body which isn't necessarily a had thing. As a scent of it's own, this is a complex gourmand fragrance. Starts with a mix of spicy cloves and cold spices with tobacco leaves, this offers a captivating opening for those who can withstand the opening of tobacco centric scents. The vanilla from the heart and base are aching to surface to the top. During the dry down, the spices and tobacco are shadowed by some resinous, woody dry fruits with creamy vanilla and the far end of the dry down makes you smell exactly like white milk chocolate. For a seasoned nose who appreciates complex artsy scents, I'd expect someone over 30 to wear this for what it is and not because it gets complements. But it is an intoxicating scent profile. Get it if you're on a budget and allow it to sit for a couple of months for the notes to smoothen out.

❤️❤️❤️EXACTLY WHAT I WAS HOPING FOR❤️❤️❤️ OMG it's wonderful. I have no idea what TF's Tobacco Vanille smells like but this is just wow. Wow wow wow. ❤️👍 I absolutely love this perfume and here's why... Do any of you smokers remember what Camel Turkish Royals first smelled like before the ban on flavored tobacco? Think circa 1998... Well the tobacco leaf they used in that blend was phenomenally sweet, and rich and planty/savory. 😌 Smelled so good before you lit up. This formula is very close to that addicting scent of vanillic, sweet, fresh tobacco leaf with a delicate woodiness to it. Opens spice heavy with a mysterious amalgamation of anise/clove/nutmeg/cinnamon-like warmth and punch. Not really gourmand but not synthetic either. An hour after that first spritz it softens to a powdery, vanillic unburnt tobacco with less of the still prominent spice punch, allowing a dried fruit note reminiscent of raisins and dates to quietly make its declaration. All the while that sweet tobacco carries everything expertly balanced for the next 5 hours. It's totally fire 🔥 OMG. The dry down is a very soft blanket of that warm spice note over a beautiful tobacco leaf bed.🫦 I've been huffing my arm for 7 hours now and I still can't get enough. ❤️ 10/10 One of the best blind buys I've ever made❗
