Tobacco Sublime

A Distinct Aesthetic Experience The Sublime is a term designating a distinct aesthetic experience for characters that are the subject of discussion, from that of the Beautiful. Beautiful has form, order, and measure, while the Sublime has no form, is disorder, excess, isolates and makes it sensitive to the ego. The “genius” represented its originality through the majesty of nature, the mystery of the night, and dreams equal to nightmares. How much of sublime is within Tobacco Sublime? Jordi Fernández is a niche senior perfumer, passionate about oriental and natural fragrances. He often includes notes of oud and intense perfumes in his creations. He is Tobacco Sublime’s nose, which appears exceptionally understated, light, and gentle. Tobacco Sublime is an ambery-woody prominent scent that smells warm, a kind of powder from the iris root, not too heavy. It is sublime, unquestionably. Among the four items in the same collection, this is subdued. It smells amicable; I am not getting a distinct and robust tobacco but a more refined amber and vanilla blend. It has nothing in common with the previous #Tobacco Collection. However, this is the one I appreciated and rated the most when testing the collection for the first time. The scent rises with a smidgen of zestiness, not overly citrus. Around the zest is a spicy touch of pepper and an aromatic nuance courtesy of a semisweet sage. In the background, I smell the powderiness of the iris’ roots and the sweetness of the tobacco leaves. The savoury and spicy facets last for a little while before the scent takes a twist. After a while, Tobacco Sublime grows and acquires more sweetness and powderiness. The dirt of patchouli blends with the tenderness of the iris, and the result is sublime, so refined and classy. It is heavier on the orris and not too deep into the patchouli. This magical achievement inspired its name, and the blend reaches its maximum refinement in the heart. Don’t expect a lipstick iris; there are no traces of makeup here. When drying comes, the perfume sets into a refined combination of vanilla and amber wood. There is still a trace of tobacco, but the amber and powdery aspect is more perceptible. It’s a leather scent, not too diffusive but pleasant, with an amplified sensuality if you smell it up close. For my tastes, I would have liked a more consistent presence of tobacco, which appears honeyed and not smoky at all. But I love it when it shows up, not too cherry-like pipe tobacco. Tobacco Sublime is an inoffensive perfume ideal for the office, a gallant meeting, or an intimate dinner. Both projection and duration are moderate, making it suitable for evening events while needing reapplication if used during the day. Seasonally, it fits perfectly into the fall months. Its warmth is matched by the humid, cool air of late September and October. I gave it an 8.5, and it deserves it. The result is extraordinary despite the limited performance. I'm thinking about a bottle I've owned since August 2023.

I was at zara when the staff was putting the entire new collection out on the shelves I couldn't believe it and as happy as I was to see the new collection as annoyed I was as I haven't finished buying the newly released weekly collection monday-friday collection! Anyway I went on and tried tobacco sublime and the vetiver one which I don't remember the full name of it, this one however is amazing to say the least full on strong semi sweet tobacco strong tobacco amazing thick stuff I didn't buy but am gonna for sure, it very masculine, long lasting and somewhat classic in a good way, as I left the shop the smell developed on my hands and gotten stronger and stronger which was amazing, I kept sniffing my hand all the way home, I got home and washed my hands and the smell was still there! This fragrance however reminded me of another perfume but I couldn't put my finger on I need to look into my collection as it holds a very strong resemblance to another tobacco scent I have but no it not DG the one, it could be Philip plain This got nothing to do with the one suggested in the reminds me of section by lattafa, please stop trolling!

This is an absolute hidden 💎! It is a stretch to say this smells like Prada Luna Rossa Black. Black is a peppery, amber musk smell with strong projection. It has none of the freshness, camphorous woody notes or light vanilla sweetness that is in Tobacco Sublime. I would say TS is more similar to Gypsy Water than Prada Black. Essentially a lighter, more masculine version of Gypsy Water. Tobacco Sublime wears like a masculine, light tobacco skin scent. It has a very bright and airy opening, after about a minute the subtle tobacco nuances emerge along with amber/vanilla. This is a versatile scent that is nearly Impossible to overspray. Love this one! 9/10

I love this! Sweet and woody, vanilla takes centre stage on my skin and it's so good in colder weather. I took it with me on a trip away recently, and the weather was pretty cold, and this was lovely for going out at night. That said, this could just as easily be worn during the day if it's cold out. It's not a very loud scent, but it's noticeable for a few hours. I think this smells similar to Dior Homme Intense, but it's brighter and cleaner than Dior Homme Intense. And, for 50 AUD, I would buy this again and again.

@seversky they must be because I have been reading a lot of comments about how the sweetness in this fragrance is almost overwhelming. Well, I have the white label version and the sweetness in it is subtle. I love that about this fragrance. And, I get from some people that they think that the other notes in this overwhelm the tobacco, but for me the tobacco is the star of the show. It's a hay dry-like tobacco to my nose, and it is what I smell the most...

This is my most complimented scent I have. The tobacco and vanilla mix is great, not too much tobacco but very subtly creeps in to mesh with the vanilla. Being broke as fuck, this was money to me. I had someone test out fragrances with me on all of the Zara perfumes on the shelf and this came on top. I wore it to class, family events and just meeting up with friends and they all really liked it! Definitely give this a go if you're on a budget

Notes on the package : Bergamot, Sage, Pepper, Iris, Patchouli, Vanilla, Amber, Tobacco This is divine , there’s s a freshness in the beginning that’s so delicious that I can’t stop smelling my wrist. It’s very comforting too . The longer I have it on my skin, the better I like it! Go and get yourself this one people , you won’t regret it ! Oh, and it lasts quite a while with a delectable dry down .

I sprayed Zara tobacco rich warm addictive and then Zar tobacco sublime. I had liked the tobacco rich warm first, but wasn't fully satisfied. I just happen to carry them home. I smelled after 5-6 hours and I have to say, Zar tobacco sublime has one of the nicest, distinct base notes. Strongly amberwood but also gentle. I was super impressed with it, I just had to go and get one for myself.

I love this one so much. The sweetness is somewhere in between tobacco and vanilla and mostly in the opening. The dry down is less sweet and more woody. Update: This is still one of my favorites but the longer i sit with it the less refined it feels. I am hoping they do an intense version like they have just released for sunrise on the red sand dunes and sand desert at sunset.

Just got a sample of Prada Luna Rossa Black, I can see the comparisons but this is way less sweet and more woody. For my taste, this is far better. I have also made comparisons between Tobacco Sublime and Bentley for Men Intense, It is not really boozy so it makes it more wearable.

This is the only fragrance worth buying from this new collection. At least for me. Tobacco Sublime is not a bombastic fragrance, don't expect anything like Tobacco Vanilie or Spicebomb Extreme. Nice spicy and mellow vanilla, perfect for night, even now in the summer.

This is a nice fragrance - it’s super light the Tabacco-pepper-woody isn’t over powering at all. Makes it easily wearable just the longevity doesn’t last a long time.

When I first sprayed it I hated it, but literally give it 2 minutes because it changes drastically to a beautiful vanilla, tobacco, iris fragrance. Well done Zara

I have both Luna Rossa Black and this. Similar but not exactly the same. This has added boozy tobacco on top of the powdery DNA of LRB.

It has a very manly sweetness about it, soft and pleasant, I agree with @brylski with the middle point between tobacco and vanilla.

Is it just me or the newer batches of this (2024) are sweeter and more potent than the earlier ones with white label?

Why does it only last an hour before it's gone?? :(

Smells amazing but lasts for two seconds

Tobacco Sublime is the one I liked the best of the entire new series, a spicy sweet woody tobacco fragrance, not unique or original (I swear I have something in my collection that smells exactly like this, just can't put my finger on it right now), but thankfully it is not another cherry pipe tobacco or tonka-tobacco concoction which are a dime a dozen these days. It is also the most masculine leaning of the bunch, but still unisex. Performance is moderate and TS is definitely an office-friendly fragrance, since the tobacco note is soft and fuzzy. IMO there are better options if you have $30 to spare, but if it goes on sale below $20 I might grab a bottle. P.S. I have Lattafa Opulent Oud and to me they smell nothing alike.

Yep nothing like LRB, I'm a bit disappointed by that, but I can't say you all didn't tell me. I do get honey, vanilla and a bit of tobacco. I'm not gonna compare this to anything, it smells familiar it's certainly a dupe of a designer fragrance but it's likely something I don't own but have sampled at one point. It is pretty good though.
