Side by side
Comparing the originals — price, breadth, listed-note depth.
A hair mist interpretation of the iconic Tobacco Vanille, delivering the same rich, opulent blend of sweet tobacco leaf and creamy vanilla in a lighter, conditioning formula designed for hair. The scent retains its signature warmth and gourmand depth, with dry fruit accords and spice weaving through a velvety tonka base. It offers a softer sillage than the original EDP while maintaining the indulgent, fireside sweetness that made the original a cult classic.
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.
