by La Maison de la Vanille
A warmly spiced vanilla tobacco fragrance with a smooth, gourmand drydown. The opening features bold clove and cinnamon notes that give it a slightly sharp, sweet-spicy character, reminiscent of mulled wine and old-fashioned pomander balls. Over time, the scent mellows into a rich, velvety blend of vanilla, tonka bean, and tobacco with subtle amber and labdanum depth. It feels full and radiant in the air, with moderate projection and a moderate longevity that suits daily wear. As a dupe for Tom Ford’s Tobacco Vanille, it captures the core character—warmth, sweetness, and coherence—though it lacks the depth, longevity, and layered complexity of the original. Some users find it slightly too sweet and less intense, while others appreciate its approachable, wearable quality and affordable price. It’s particularly well-suited for autumn and winter, and fits well into night-time wear due to its inviting, cozy aura.
