Title: No idea?

Oh Tom, I'm actually not very fond of you. So many fragrances that cost a small fortune and are only mediocre. So if there's one brand I avoid, it's yours. I usually make a big detour around the perfume section with your name on it. I also think it's exaggerated that most people can't even try out what you've created. Sniffing in peace is not an option. Someone has to dig a small bottle out of a drawer somewhere and this bottle is then sprayed on me under strict observation. Not particularly classy, if you ask me. Under these unpleasant circumstances, I tested Tobacco Vanilla, as it is supposed to be in the vein of my favorite perfume. I have to be honest and say that it has not landed in 6th place on the list of favorite unisex perfumes for no reason.

It is fully loaded and doesn't exactly start shyly. A progression is skillfully dispensed with here. Right from the start, Tobacco Vanille is almost honey-like. Oozing, heavy, sticky and sweet. There is also the smoky part of tobacco, which makes the fragrance less gourmand. I personally think that despite this honey-like characteristic, it is not a gourmand fragrance. Now to the vanilla. Vanilla is a difficult subject; on its own, vanilla can quickly smell very cheap. Just like in those weird body sprays for teenagers. I'm all the happier that the vanilla here is the bitter vanilla pod rather than this Dr. Oetker aroma. Even as a vanilla pod, it's there as a companion rather than the main player. The resin and ginger have been refined with it, so to speak. Together, this results in this thick, sweet, golden nectar. Sweet, bitter and smoky go very well together. As already mentioned, Tobacco Vanilla is very straightforward. Why be so changeable when you can show off with a good fragrance combination. I don't think that's wrong either. Tobacco Vanille shows what it can do right from the start.

This composition is heavy, but also addictive. Just 2 spritzes and you're good to go. Otherwise it takes your breath away. It lasts all day on my skin and almost 4 days on my clothes. A real beast fashion perfume, which is not always the case for Tom Ford.

A really beautiful perfume that many people love. But the big thing is and remains the price.
