@Houdini4 this has absolutely nothing to do with TF TV. Not even close

Clearly Tom Ford’s Tobacco Vanille will aways be the crest of the wave and the high water mark to which other fragrances similar to this, will be judged. The opening is dried fruits and honey with a deep cherry tobacco and vanilla…yeah…I told ya! The accord is clearly of comparable quality but I guarantee I could tell the difference between this and TF TV as something seems smoother, less brash, could be the oud and saffron Lux’ing it up a bit but it doesn’t have the heft either in the Tobacco or the vanilla. However, make no mistake this is not like a ‘weaker’ One I could think of Phaedon Tabac rouge prehaps it’s more like that Parfums de Marly one? (Name escapes me) a reimagining, progressing subtley differently. I have TV so ultimately this is redundant to me but it’s long lasting and cheaper per ml than TF so worth checking out for fans who want to save a little.

My first try of the house of Amouroud, Oud Tabac is a pleasant blend of oud, woods, vanilla, and spices, offering balanced amounts of each of these categories. While the dry down for me is quite spicy, the opening is where most of the intriguing notes (saffron, heliotrope, coriander, ginger) are contained. I still detect some mix of these in the dry down, particularly the coriander and ginger.
Yet the blend is simultaneously sweet, a strong bourbon vanilla pairing with the oud and cedar/sandalwood group, almost a spot-on formula for a unisex winter winner.
Performance is good, not exceptional, but it boasts a pretty good mix of projection and longevity, expected of such notes. Retail pricing (via Osswald) is $200 for 100ml, not bad, but at that price, I expect to be wowed just a little more than I am by it. I suspect this will be beloved by many, though–a solid unisex sweet/spicy/woody oud scent.
