Tabac Imperial

I was fortunate enough to obtain a free sample of this fragrance and I'm super thankful because although it's great, I won't be dishing out almost $500 CAD with the taxes for it. It's a beautiful, rich, deep tobacco fragrance. A bit earthy, a bit sweet and very sexy smelling, at least to my nose. Longevity is great. Over 7 hours into the life of the fragrance and I still smell it very strongly. Projection is great as well for the first 3-4 hours before it settled in a bit closer. The sillage is phenomenal, though. When you smell this stuff linger in the air, it's magic. Overall, it's a truly gorgeous tobacco fragrance. Extremely well blended and very, very deep and rich. Although Fragrantica is saying this is unisex, I would say this leans very, very masculine.

Frankly the mostly exquisitely blended tobacco and honey. The opening is arguably the most realistic honey-wrapped tobacco ive ever had the pleasure of smelling, and as it dries down the tobacco slowly fades into the background and allows that oh-so-sweet honey to shine through. Funnily enough im constantly reminded of the nostalgic smell of playdough from my childhood. Its always subtly present, but it add this whole new aspect to the fragrance that makes it one of my favourites ever. This stuff is so effortlessly smooth, effortlessly natural, and just good asf.

I tested this fragrance for the first time at the airport, and it had already impressed me. I had the opportunity to try it again and it only confirmed my sensations: a wonderfully realistic, slightly bitter honey, combined with a delicate and very pleasant tobacco. The other notes make it decisive, incisive, just the way I like it. I consider it super sensual on a woman, equally on a man. Ended up on wishlist. Ideal for the colder seasons, or for an important summer evening. “First to arrive” painted by Liepke.

Bought it at the Delhi duty free for around INR 19000 approx($250) would say with this price it absolutely feels like the right buy, I have tried many Tobacco Fragrances, the most closer to this one would be Red Tobacco but the opening of Red Tobacco is so medicinal , Tabac Imperial is overall the best performing with moderate projection , layer it with Iso e super to make it subtle if needed. My next favorite would be Tobacco Vanile but Tabac Imperial takes the cake.

I don't know what the people below me are tripping on but tobacco is my favorite note in perfumery, I try to buy everything I find that has a tobacco note, and this fragrance has the most realistic tobacco note I have ever smelled in a fragrance by far. It reminds me of the days I used to drink scotch and smoke my oriental tobacco straight from a pipe. It's a beautiful fresh tobacco with a powdery dry down. I recommend this if you can get it from a discounter.
