Tobacco

I've been on a journey with Tobacco , a beautiful woody aromatic full of intriguing contrasts: cold, sheer, bright sage and patchouli in counterpoint with a soft, warm, fuzzy heart of tonka bean, moss and dark tobacco. It's both clay-like and metallic and I didn't appreciate its desaturated palette fully until the weather turned cool. It makes me think of a handsome, earthy, mossy stag in the woods. The sage note is stunning, austere and strong and stays present throughout, from the woody-mossy opening to the spicy-ambery dry down. Tobacco has been pulling me back month after month and I've appreciated it more each time. Masculine-leaning aromatics are not my usual style but I've totally fallen for this one.

to me, there’s some synthetic note ruining this fragrance. 5.5/10 EDIT: gave this a second try and it’s genuinely good, 8/10 no synthetic note anymore

Dry woods, earthy tobacco and patchouli and made interesting by the uplifting sage note. Leaves an impression of a rich, bachelor of a man who has expensive taste but is humble, always freshly shaven and will sweep you off your feet! Vegetal, aromatic opening with intimate dry down of amber and moss. Smells like a kiss on the neck from an attractive man!
