No. 3

i will never shut up about this scent. it's the perfect ratio of cinnamon, tobacco, and vanilla to me. criminally underrated as well, but that means there's more for me! my only complaint is that it doesn't last as long as i'd like it to. but, again, this is the ideal measure of sweet, spicy, and and smoky to me. it feels like cigarettes and coffee with vanilla syrup inside and studying day and night. may not linger on the skin, but it has effectively stuck to all my clothes and i couldn't be more delighted. always want to have this in my rotation and saving up for another as i write this.

This is a really weird scent to me. These are my absolute favorite notes so I was sure it'd be a home run, but something is just off. I think it's the cinnamon, which is wild because I've never met a cinnamon scent I didn't like. Could also be the tobacco, I really can't tell. It just has a strange almost tea/herbal quality to it instead of a spiciness. Woody maybe? But more so in a tree-bark way. Not in a pleasant way though, I make a face every time I get a whiff. Underneath that weird note it's nice, but I really have to sniff it for a few seconds to get past that horrid opening. Smells exactly like a tobacco vanilla candle I once had rather than a perfume, not bad but doesn't make me feel nice to wear. Giving me a headache as we speak.

I was so afraid this would be screamy but it’s not. I’m loving it. It’s got the papery feel of Cuir de Orient, but the vanlla spice of Tobacco Vanille without the alienating metallic coldness.It's a cross between Cuir d’Orient and Boclet Tobacco. Not as gingerbread/clove as the Boclet and not as leathery as the Cuir, but a wonderful dry, spiced vanilla in the middle. It hasn't got too much spice, too much weight or too much wood. It's really as delraiser says, a perfect balance, which really suprised me! It's not the same TV knock off you get in so many offerings these days either. Just a joy to wear. Perfectly unisex.
