I recently picked this up for the first time myself and it is amazing! I agree, it’s just a very beautiful scent, I couldn’t stop smelling it on myself the first time I wore it. Definitely one of my top favorites ever.
TBH, sometimes I don’t know half of the words he uses to describe a fragrance. I just like hearing his opinion and love the world he takes me when doing a review.
Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille might be my all-time favorite fragrance. It's incredible. But I feel like it's a bit too formal, luxurious and attention-grabbing for my personality and style, so I don't think I could pull it off. It's sort of like tuxedo; I'm a casual homebody, I don't have many opportunities to wear it where it wouldn't seem out of place. I'm considering to pick up a 10 ml bottle for special occasions only. Instead, I use Mugler Cologne Come Together as my everyday "signature" fragrance, Prada L'Homme for the office in the summertime and Dior Homme Intense (which reminds me a bit of Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille) for the wintertime. I also enjoy the Escentric Molecules line, especially Escentric 01, Molecule 02 and Molecule 04, which are great for layering.
I have a fresh bottle of this one just waiting for the weather to be cold again. I am wearing a Costa Azzura (Private Blend) this summer thanks to your review, James ☀️ 🛥
I bought this on a cruise ship in December 2021. About 200 dollars or so for the small bottle. It's VERY strong. A little bit goes a long way. Love the smell, but I am just never sure when to wear it. I feel like I can only wear it in the winter or maybe when I am in a suit. Sometimes I just smell it without putting it on...makes me happy!
Thank you for this review on Tobacco Vanille, I’ve been on the fence because I always wear Oud Wood.. but also in love with Tobacco Vanille .. I think you just helped me make my my up!! THANK YOUUU
This one won me over after one day of wearing it. Perfect blend of spice & sweet tobacco. It performs well and holds up for the entire day. This will be the perfect fall scent
No kidding, it lasted 12h-16h on my skin. I put it on before heading out on a warm, humid evening. Could smell the fragrance on me the next day when I woke up. Crazy
Such a good review (and reviewer), I am won over by TF and now think its time to venture in to Private Blends, currently have Noir Extreme, Beau De Jour, Costa Azzura, Ombre Leather and Grey Vetiver
It's funny how so many people bought this as their first 'proper' fragrance! When I got into fragrances a few years ago, all I ever heard about was Tobacco Vanille and how amazing it is, so I blind bought it along with the beard oil and omg I HATED it! I thought it smelt like superglue... I even showed my friend and he was shocked at how something so horrible cost so much! So I actually gave it away... Now nearly 4 years later, after buying so many niches and designers, and my nose becoming more refined, I smelt this the other day and actually appreciated it! Am thinking of making it my signature now along with the beard oil!
@@ManForHimself Yes James! Would LOVE to see you do a review of Xerjoff Naxos. I think you would like it if you like Tobacco Vanille, it is a masterpiece of Honey + Tobacco (If you haven't already tried it
@@mikeprice8307 To be honest after using the bottle for a few months, I would probably take some marks off it from my previous review. Only because I find that it lacks longevity, I wore A LOT of it at a racing day in Ascot in October and after half an hour literally, no one could smell it on me. I tried this a few times with liberal sprays and found that it disappears very quickly (Tbh, a lot of people are complaining about this with Tom Ford perfumes recently). I would also take points off as well but this is down to my personal opinion, is that I think it needs a Boozy note to complete the fragrance. It is based on the concept of a Gentleman's club, and no Gentleman's club I know goes without booze and smells more like Christmas Pudding! I think the marketing for the perfume is wrong because as much as I don't think it's a bad perfume, I don't think it smells anything like a Gentleman's club!
Just got my bottle of Tobacco Vanille today, it's my first Tom Ford. only a 30ml bottle but it will last a fair while because it's going into my winter rotation this year. Beast mode projection and performance. Certainly wont need many sprays, 2 or 3 on the neck and that will be sufficient opened the packet before, pulled that gorgeous bottle out and sprayed one single spritz of it on my wrist and I have virtually a bubble of this around me. After about an hour once it settles right down I found its actually very similar scent profile to Bulgari Man in Black (that's definitely the tonka coming through). More sprays will amount to a stronger tobacco scent so I will now wait for a cold morning and spray 3 on the neck and give it a full day. Love it. so masculine and doesn't apologise for being an animal. Treat this one like Sauvage Elixir, the colder it is, the nicer it will be.
I didn't care for this one initially. Thought it smelled like some type of potpourri or a vanilla chai latte. But I hadn't worn it properly. Only tested it on my hand. During the Christmas holidays (very cold weather) I gave it a proper wearing and now it's a staple in my collection. Love this stuff.
@@AM-bm9rs Sorry for the late reply. RU-vid doesn't always notify you when someone replys to a comment. In short, it smelled nicer because I dressed nicer and wore it at the appropriate time. Instead of trying it on my hand or a card in the August heat, I put on a few sprays in December (40 degree day) with a dressy casual outfit and top coat.
@@Tyronieus I live in a hot humid country, it smells like milk + spices. I don't know how it would be in a cold weather since there's only warm weather where I am. I'm disappointed that I don't smell the "sweet feminine food" smell that youtubers are picking up. I don't know if it's cos of the hot weather? It literally smells like spices & kinda like a hot ginger cookie without any sweet smell, it's pretty unusual.
I totally agree with this! This was the first cologne big purchase I made and I get the 10ml now (easier to carry around) and it is an amazing scent! PSA this is Harry Styles cologne too 😂
Love your takes Mate. I so agree fragrance is all about taking your memories back. Smell is the thing most connected. When I travel I always love picking up a totally new fragrance and wear it on that journey...then Im always reminded of that magical time. 🙂
Big Tom ford fan . I already have oud wood and wanted another to fragrance. Just back from shopping where I tried a few. The final 2 were tobacco oud and tobacco vanille. Loved them both but vanille blew me away. An amazing creamy gorgeous rich scent. I just had to buy. BTW I loved tuscan leather as well
If you like Tobacco Vanille, might I suggest looking into Phaedon Tabac Rouge. It's very similar, but a little more floral. I end up wearing it more than TV, but I have both, and both are amazing for fall. I feel Tabac Rouge may be more suited for cold spring days due to the additional floral notes.
I have Perfume Parlous Extrait clone interpretation. It's a stunning fragrance for sure. Perfect for colder months with layers. The clove and vanilla work together beautifully
TV is so damn fine! Can relate to your backpacking memories robin I wore this xmas day 2019 when it was 39 degrees Celsius here in Adelaide, Australia Love your videos mate!
Tobacco Vanille is not for everyone. You'll need to wash it off before you can enjoy the smell. It's too strong and overcoming. It's so strong that it almost smell like coconut, vanilla, pineapple & tobacco, almost to where it's clashing. For me this smells best the day after.
I bought a few decanters of this when it first came out which I’m still using, when I tried it in store recently it seems a lot less powerful & long-lasting. I’m assuming it’s been reformulated a few times over the years as it’s not the beast it used to be.
You know, I was watched your video bout 1 or 2 years ago. Your style is stunning and you impress as a very charming person. And I’m here again, listening about Tom Ford’s fragrance. This is very nice to listen to you. I rly want to buy this perfume now 😅 p.s sorry for my English
Perhaps I should go back and try this one again - the first time I sampled it I really didn't like it, then again, I didn't like Noir Extreme the first time around and my God is it beautiful.
I totally get you.. Fragrances are all about memories. You smell them and they just take you back. Have you tried Replica By the Fireplace? I think you could like that fragrance too. :)
It has less pronounced leather note then Tuscan Leather. Less leather in once face . More gentel than Tuscan leather. I think it is the smoothest fragrance from their upper line of fragrances. Not too sweet. The quality is there for sure since it smells very natural.Most natural smelling fragrance of tom ford. Tobacco vanille edp Tuscan leather edp Neroli Portofino edp Oud Wood edp Those 4 fragrances arecthe best from Tom Ford. From those 4 the smoothest and most natural smell is Tobacco Vanille. All of them smell natural and are super timeless. Will always smell up to date since they ard natutal smelling.
I'm that basic guy whose fragrance when going out somewhere fancier will wear Creed Aventus. I am done to death with it and wonder whether this will be an appropriately sumptuous replacement. I'm picturing something masculine but soft at the same time as the name suggests. "Chilled out sexy vibes" is the brief so I'll be going for a sniff of this this weekend
You described my story. I knew about TF but prices look intimidating. Smelled TV and was intrigued, got a decant from a SA and could not stop smelling at home.
i just got mine with a 25% discount at the duty free in the airport. I bought 2 items and got a 25% discount code for a 3rd item so made a great deal on it, use it if you are flying next time
Dad thanks sooo much for the detailed review Have put down my blind order for a 50ml last week Had to blind order as every shop here is off limits due to the virus
I haven't seen you do a Pete and Pedro review in a looooong time but their new fragrance VILLAIN is inspired by this. I would love to see you review those products considering their low price 50$. If they are worth it when someone can't afford these high prices.
@@ManForHimself Tbh when I first tried them ( hair products) I thought they were amazing, but tbh I hadn't tried other ones and when it comes to hair even aaron himself would agree you come 2nd to none. So over the years I have found that what you recommend and use are much better than P&P and they definitely need to redo from scratch some of their products. Their only product I like is their sea salt spray it smells incredible and it doesn't dry the scalp too much although sachajuan you recommend was better. Would just love to see some professional unbiased feedback on their fragnances because of the low price and they say it was inspired by designer brands not copied. Just for reference Rebel - Aventus Creed Hero - Acqua di Gio King - Green Irish Tweed Villain - Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille
@@ManForHimself BTW will you do a video review of the Shear Revival American Gardens Clay Pomade, never seen a longer product name in my life lol, but I saw that on your IG you loved it, but would love to see a detailed video because my type of desired hair product is high hold low shine and I have an easier time applying dry products compared to the creamier ones because at least for me it is easier to control how much product I use and easier for me to style my hair?
Im thinking about of getting this one but not sure if its weather appropriate. I live in the Philippines, a tropical country, hence hot most of the time.
@@dsh12398 thank you for responding! I just watched your Tom Ford fragrance video in London. I wish that gentleman was with me every time I went fragrance shopping!
Does anyone go noseblind to this? I sprayed 1 spray behind each ear and one spray behind neck and I cannot smell it after 1 hour?! Most of my fragrances are Eau de Parfums Or Parfum concentrations. How can I enjoy the nuances and progression of my fragrances without experiencing anosmia?
Watched this to get a better idea of another cologne that is inspired by Tabacco Vanille called Villain by Pete and Pedro / Alpha M. I loved your review better than other reviews. Villain is supposed to be just different enough not to be called a unisex like this is.
