The opening gives off a woody tobacco blast and in the dry down the tobacco is more sweeter and musky. Sillage soft but longevity only 4 hours. Can be worn in every season and wearable in office.

Smells so good ! Saw this product at the Duty Free in London, I was tempted to buy but at first I bought the shower gel which smells amazing too.
A week later I decided to buy the fragrance, this is my summer scent, I am in love with it.

sexy, smooth, slightly sweet tobacco, with lots of cedar. I love cedar and there are no harsh annoying notes here, no bitterness.. no musk.. so I think women could wear this too.. although its def more masculine. I love that this has leather in it too.. adds a muskiness that stays cool

Very warm, spicy frag, which reminds me of Old Bay Seasoning. It finishes clean so I’m not walking around dusted up like a fresh crab waiting to be picked apart but to suggest this is a tobacco scent is a wee bit off the mark. Woody, spicy and clean finish.

This fragrance very quality but why name is Tobacco Absolute? too much woody and spices NOT TOBACCO.
6-7 spray, longevity 6/10, Sillage 6/10

No tobacco. This is a light, lemony-elemi “soapy” cologne style scent. Do not like it. Smells like cheap shower gels and hotel hand lotions, clean of course, and boring. And not a whiff of tobacco.
This is a sub-par summer Aqua Allegoria-style fragrance for men although ultimately unisex. Better in hot weather rather than cold, with poor silage and longevity.

I have a bottle now. The opening is horrible, a synthetic mess of “something” (the fresh / citrus notes, I presume?) but the drydown is much more akin to the woody tobacco shower gel (which is excellent).
Sillage is non-existent.

This is what I wished L’Occitane’s Eau de Baux smelled like. Or this is what I was expecting it to smell like from the notes listed. More woody, bigger punch. No powder, but still sweet. I don’t think this is comparable to the huge Spicebomb (which I used to own and love), but will have to test further to draw conclusions. So far, it is a big like, verging on do I want to get a full bottle? This and Ylang Ylang are on my defo test further list. Nice surprise Molton Brown!

Tobacco Absolute is essentially a sweet spicy/woodsy scent in the style of Spicebomb.
It opens with a quite typical fresh accord. Crisp bergamot, slightly sweet grapefruit and a hint of elemi. Really nothing too spectacular. Fortunately this accord quickly subsides and lets the heart notes reveal themselves.
The heart is a superb blend of woods and a touch of nutmeg. The woods are mainly rosewood and an overload of mahogany. Mahogany is a note you rarely see used in perfumery, but damn did Molton Brown do an excellent job with this. The mahogany and rosewood smell quite natural, and are very complex and multifaceted.
The base is a great way to tie the fragrance together. There is a bit of sweet leather, hints of sweet cinnamon and vanilla, and of course a fantastic pipe tobacco note.
Whilst it’s certainly similar to Spicebomb, it’s also quite unique compared to it. Basically their comparison boils down to a similarity of genre and execution. Spicebomb is a sweet tobacco scent with an overload of spices and cinnamon. Tobacco Absolute is a bit more subdued and understated, accomplishing a similar idea with mahogany, rosewood and hints of spices.
Tobacco Absolute is certainly worth a try. At first sniff, you’ll probably not think it’s all that unique. But give it some time and properly experience how the mahogany and rosewood interplay with the tobacco and leather. It’s quite a worthwhile experience.
Longevity is very good – 8-9 hours.
Rating: 8.5/10
