Esprit De Tigre / Spirit Of The Tiger by Heeley, 200
Reviewed by Buysblind

Smoky wood, camphorous mint, and some spice. The resemblance to Tiger Balm is apparent but Esprit du Tigre is softer, smoother, and altogether more wearable. However, it's not something that I...

The vintage version: The top note is a pleasant floral-citrus mix with a bit of neroli, that in the drydown adds lavender and later a woody notes. Towards the end a light and not unpleasant...

I didn't like this scent at first. I found it amateurish and a bit redundant. I gave my sample away to a buddy that's a womanizer. End of story. I walk into Scent Bar looking for Wode by...

The lemony opening reminds me of old people. - it's not unpleasant and smells fresh and clean but I just can't past the smell of the beige bowls club brigade. After a while the vetiver comes...

Caron fragrances are very expensive. You can purchase them by phone from the Caron boutique in New York.

My advice would be to look on the swap board. Buffalo gal is a wonderful person to deal with and has many Caron extraits by decant. Tabac Blond is $30 for 5 ml. Doubt you'll get a better deal.

Tabac Blond extrait parfum (pure parfum) is part of Caron's exclusive "urn collection" of fragrances. That is, this scent (and others in the "urn" line) is generally available for retail purchase only from Caron's own boutiques, which will have the twelve or so urn extrait parfums on dramatic and beautiful display in glorious Baccarat crystal urns. You choose the quantity you would like, and the boutique staff will hand-decant from the urns into the packaging of your choice. I recently obtained my 50ml of Tabac Blonc Extrait Parfum in this way from the Caron Boutique in Manhattan.

I highly second this suggestion! Buffalo_gal is a truly excellent, uh, gal, seller, and perfume enthusiast. She really knows her scents, packages them beautifully and securely, and is happy to include samples of others. Oh, and she has a diversity of offerings almost second to none!
