The scent to me is fresh tobacco notes mixed spices and sweet sticky vanilla. Underneath all that is some dark chocolate undertones and cacao mixed with dried fruit notes. Initially, the tobacco and spice stands out, and it is very strong. The tobacco and spices tend to shine a little more than the sweetness of the vanilla and creamy tonka bean.
Over time, the sweetness becomes more prominent, and the tobacco notes mellow out a good bit. During the dry down it smells like a holiday style scent with notes of sweet vanilla, cinnamon, spices, and some scents of woods and dark fruits. Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille Cologne by Tom Ford, Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille is a men's and women's Oriental spicy fragrance with sweet, vanilla, tobacco, warm spicy, and fruity main accords. Initiated in 2007, this scent is ideal for fall and winter evening wear and has enormous sillage and very long-lasting longevity.
The head notes are tobacco and spicy notes while the heart notes are tonka bean, vanilla, cacao, and tobacco blossom. The base notes are dried fruits and woody notes. Tobacco Vanille opens on my skin exactly like a Christmas plum pudding, a sort of dark, blackened, moist-to-dry fruitcake that often is accompanied by a vanilla rum sauce. The similarity is so strong, it's striking. The rum opening is accompanied by dark pipe tobacco, cinnamon chocolate, and spices.
There is a touch of cardamom and ginger, just like in a really strong Chai tea. The subtle ginger note combined with the dark spices renders this a very different scent than Ambre Narguilé or Spiritueuse Double Vanille on my skin. It's not as sweet, light or fruity as it is in the other two fragrances, and there are no smoky, incense notes. Here, the tobacco is not like airy hookah smoke, but something a thousand times more dense.
There is almost a chewy, black vibe to the whole thing with a faintly bitter underpinning, though I don't know if it stems from the tobacco leaves, the fruit, or something else. The fragrance opens with spicy notes blended with tobacco leaf, letting the heart unfold with its delectable blend of tobacco flower, creamy tonka beans, vanilla and cocoa. At the base, dry fruit accord and sweet wood sap help ensure the fragrance leaves a powerful impression.
There are many dupes of this fragrance, some are going for high end designer prices, having tried a few myself I really don't think any can come close to the exceptional balance of tobbaco vanille. Rich rolling tobbaco appears that feels laced with a touch of honey, dried fruits keep things from going too syrupy this is the perfect balance. Then for a rare occasion I am greeted by a stunning vanilla, vanilla is a note I don't crave for, but not in this creation, it's smells plush and addictive. When every note is revealed you are left with a linear tobacco/vanilla combo with little whiffs of spice. A match made in heaven for those weekends away in colder surroundings. A modern take on an old world men's club.
A smooth oriental, Tobacco Vanille opens immediately with opulent essences of tobacco leaf and aromatic spice notes. The heart unfolds with creamy tonka bean, tobacco flower, vanilla and cocoa, and finishes with a dry fruit accord, enriched with sweet wood sap. Tobacco Vanille has scents of tobacco leaf, vanilla, cocoa, ginger, tonka bean, and dried fruits. This is a warm and sweet gourmand like fragrance that appeals to both men and women.
It is based on an English Gentleman's club with notes of spices, vanilla, and tobacco flower. This iconic Tom Ford scent was inspired by London, and the spice and cognac-laden aromas of a classic private gentleman's club, only reinvented and reimagined for modern day. By adding creamy tonka bean, vanilla, cocoa, dry fruit accords and sweet wood sap, Tom Ford has turned a traditional fragrance genre on its head and created an opulent, indulgent scent. Tobacco Vanille is a 2007 creation by Tom Ford.
It's an oriental spicy fragrance and, despite my rather masculine description above, this fragrance was designed for both men and women. Top notes are tobacco leaf and spices, the middle notes are tonka bean, tobacco blossom, vanilla and cacao and the base notes are dried fruits and wood. Tom Ford's affection for London inspired this scent, reminiscent of an English gentleman's club, redolent with spice.
Tobacco Vanille opens up with sweet tobacco, vanilla, cocoa note, and tonka bean. The tonka bean lends a creamy feel to the mixture. The combined effect is not unlike the smell of rum n' raisin ice cream.
It is relatively strong and sweet at the start, with just a touch of leather. But the sweetness is offset by a blend of lovely spices - cardamom, cinnamon, and clove. This fragrance creates a warm, enveloping cloud of tobacco and gourmand notes around you.
The top notes are tobacco leaf and spices. The middle notes are vanilla, cocoa, tonka bean, and tobacco blossom. Tom Ford has a taste for bold accords with retro throwbacks, that is evident throughout the Private Blends range. Tobacco Vanille is an interpretation of the ambience of gentlemen's clubs, redolent of warm, aromatic pipe tobacco. Tobacco Vanille is an oriental, centred primarily around the two notes of tobacco and vanilla.
A dramatic opening of spicy, sweet tobacco, very rich and even loud, sets off the proceedings. The note of tobacco here is abstract rather than photorealistic, while clove and other spices ensure it is wonderfully multilayered. This accord softens a little in an hour, as a vanilla comes more to the forefront of the composition. The vanilla is gourmandish, somewhat crude and a bit too saccharine.
While it pairs reasonably well with the spicy tobacco, it also becomes the dominant accord on my skin as much of the complexity and nuances are lost. Tobacco Vanille is fairly linear thereafter, and overall possesses excellent sillage and duration. The key notes are tobacco leaf, vanilla, and ginger, with added notes of creamy tonka bean, cocoa, dry fruit accords, and sweet wood sap. But as they hit you, they're joined by mellow, even aged tobacco notes that add a dry elegance and club room gravitas to its subtle sweetness.
Just as soon as you almost feel like you can sink your teeth into it, it sinks its teeth into you, and you're a goner. Perfect for the gourmand perfume lover who wants a bit of an edge. The scent opens with strait-up pipe tobacco, which shouldn't surprise anyone when sniffing. There's sort of an allspice melange going on too, and I can't tell what exact kind are swirling about, but it's very nutmeg and clove oriented.
There's a tiny drop of mandarin too, enough to pull this in a sweet direction, but the tobacco still does most of the talking. Cacao joins a rich vanilla, exactly the kind one would expect in vanilla pipe tobacco, giving this the feeling of smelling everyone's uncle Chuck when he comes over to watch football with Dad. Tom Ford was going for an old English gentleman's club, but I'm not getting much of that vibe since there's no real dryness present. A boozy note surfaces in the base, but it's more like a cognac than something definitively English like gin, so once again, no dice on the mental imagery. For whatever reason, this is decidedly more French in spite of the advertising blurb.
That sweet boozy note swirls around a fat coumarin tonka note, some dried plum, and a gaiac wood component which Tom Ford is fond of using. The dry down reduces the whole thing to the stifling smell of an original Black & Mild Tiparillo with hints of booze and woods. Pretty realistic pipe tobacco thing, which I like. A bit of booziness and a backdrop of, ? It says woods, but smells akin to leather to me.
Really, in the air it is probably just vanilla pipe tobacco. The pipe tobacco seemed to stay true for longer than I thought it would, it didn't unravel. The composition seems somewhat simplistic. Some get crazy performance, others poor. I feel like my experience was closer to crazy. It wasn't the hardest projector, but was clearly smellable on my skin for 8 hours without having to bury my nose.
On a full wearing I would catch wiffs every now and again, which is fairly ideal. On top of all this, it is stupid expensive, dropping its grade to a neutral. Thirty minutes in, in my first test at a lesser dosage, the spice notes started to unfurl even more. There is a lovely light note of coriander with its lemony undertones, some candied ginger, and a soupçon of anise. There is also an almost milky accord which makes me think of thick, sweetened tea. The lemony note to the coriander adds to that mental impression of a dark black tea with milk and a sliver of lemon.
It's very masculine, very proper and, yet, simultaneously, for reasons that I can't quite pinpoint or put into words, it's also none of those things. Others here have described this far better than I would be able to. Just wanted to add my opinion as someone who's tried tons of Tom Ford fragrances, and at least 10 of his private blends. I've been disappointed with most of the PBs, especially the lighter options in the blue bottles. Unlike some other PB's, Tobacco Vanille has good sillage, good projection, lasts all day, and is not so light and close.
It's perfectly unisex and deliciously warm and nostalgic. True to its name, it is mellow vanilla cigars, pipe tobacco, smoking and cognac or honey bourbon. I think it's gorgeous, I don't prefer to wear unisexes that lean too masculine, and this doesn't on me. I finished my small decant and ordered a larger roller ball decant.
Tobacco Vanille includes notes of tobacco leaf, spices, tonka bean, tobacco flower, vanilla, cocoa, dry fruits and wood sap. I've never sniffed an old world men's club, so I don't know about that comparison. I would think of a men's club as boozier and more rugged.
This is just comforting for me and nostalgic (is that the old world feel?). I have sniffed pipe tobacco and this is dead on. It is "tobacco" throughout in such a perfect way. This fragrance is incredibly long wearing. That's 12+ hours of me unable to stop smelling myself.
I find that it smells wonderful on men and women. It's sexy but in a very approachable way. But it's the same scent, with no similarity at all between what the two separate people perceive it to smell like.
What Does Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille Smell Like People talk about smelling wood or almond in Baccarat rouge, but all I smell is sweetness. I tried smelling L'eau d'Issey and I can only describe the main note as decaying, rotting vegetation, maybe asparagus. I tried smelling Armaf Sillage, and all I smelled was bitter celery something.
And people pay money for those because they like how they smell! I know no one would ever pay to smell like rotting asparagus, and yet that's precisely what I smell in the L'eau d'Issey. So, how does Tobacco Vanille smell exactly… The opening notes are very bright and right from the first moment, the tobacco is the star. It's intensely fresh and spicy with a rum note blended in perfectly. The vanilla is also very notable – slightly sweet but never sugary.
In the background, I can pick out spices, particularly pepper, but they are just balancing out the fragrance and not notable to my mind. As the initial top notes mellow out, the fragrance settles into the delicious warmth with which it'll stay. The tobacco softens, the vanilla steps forward a touch more and a note of cacao adds a note of indulgent chocolate to the experience.
Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille is a fragrance with a masculine and rich blend of tobacco and vanilla. This fragrance is classified as an oriental and woody fragrance. It is an aromatic, spicy scent with a sweet and rich base. The fragrance features notes of tobacco, vanilla, and spices such as coriander a... The only real bit of hype that's actually correct about Tobacco Vanille is the strength. This stuff is indeed "beastmode" like all the gym-obssessed dating-app-using and GQ-reading corporate ladder "dudebr0" types say it is.
This stuff is literally the gourmand equivalent to Joop! Homme , and it's probably that very heavy tobacco, chocolate, and vanilla combo which is the cause, especially in eau de parfum form. This is sold as a unisex fragrance, but we all know that mostly guys yack to no end about this more than the ladies. Best used in romantic circumstances or evenings, and cold weather. Testing shouldn't be too hard, since Tom Ford sales reps will shove 4ml sprays of this into your hand just for making conversation with them. As soon as I got home and sprayed it, though, I understood the hype.
Dare I say, it smells better than most perfumes I own. It is quite strong , but it's absolutely delicious. The notes are warm and spicy, and it really does give you the feeling you're in a cozy cabin in the woods.
