Eilish
Side by side
Comparing the originals — price, breadth, listed-note depth.
Opens with a bright, slightly tart mandarin and crisp apple that softens quickly, stepping aside within the first hour. The heart is where it lives: a warm vanilla-cocoa accord that reads more like skin than dessert — sweet but not cloying, grounded by quiet woody notes that keep it from going full gourmand. Projection is intimate; this sits close to the body rather than announcing itself. The dry-down is a clean, creamy musk-adjacent warmth that lingers for hours — A cold-weather skin scent for anyone who wants sweetness that feels personal, not performative.
Opens with a burst of warm, slightly bitter tobacco leaf cut through with baking spices, then settles quickly into its real identity: a dense, almost edible heart of vanilla and tonka bean wrapped around sweet tobacco blossom and a whisper of cocoa. The dry-down is smooth and relentless, staying close to the skin but leaving a heavy, honeyed sillage that reads in any room. Projection is generous without being aggressive — this wears like an expensive dessert you're not sharing — Deep fall and winter evenings, anyone who wants to smell unmistakably present.

Eilish and Tobacco Vanille share 2 notes (vanilla, cocoa).

The remaining notes (3 unique to Eilish, 4 unique to Tobacco Vanille) are where the divergence happens.
