I need some names of fragrances that give you that "i-just-smoked-a-ciggarette" vibe.

I currently own Versace The Dreamer, which is a very nice tobacco. I'm also thinking of purchasing Fumerie Turque by Serge Lutens, but first I would be happy to see what your recommendations look like.

Michael Kors would probably have the vibe you are looking for.

It may not smell exactly like a smoked cigarette, but Creed Tabarome Millesime is a extremely elegant, sensual, masculine tabacco based scent.

I've never tried it, but a friend told me that "Fumerie Turque" smells exactly like it's name, loaded with tobacco!

I just tried Feuilles de Tabac by Miller Harris and it's wonderful. I'm not so sure about the "just-smoked-a-cigarette" thing, but this fragrance is elegant. More like un-smoked tobacco, or maybe smoked pipe-tobacco.

I think "I just skomed a cigarette" and "tobacco" are two completely different scents. For tha first one I can only suggest Nobile 1942 Colonia Maxima: very unconventional but fresh fragrance which at some point smells like cigarette skome on clean clothes. For the second, Fumerie Turque (typical pipe tobacco) and Fougere Bengale (herbal, unprocessed tobacco leaves).

How about: "I just smoked a PACK of cigarettes and tried to cover the smell with Antaeus."?

Romance Silver and Purple Label by Ralph Lauren both have a nice tobacco flower note. I would recommend Romance Silver since it should be a bit cheaper, and smells similar enough. I bought a decant of Fumerie Turque last winter. It's an expensive frag in a full size bottle. I would be wary of blind buying something like that. I tested it on my skin, but never wore it anywhere. It is unisex, so it might suggest a perfumy vibe.

The One by D&G - nice & classy drydown tobacco notes. Perfect & rich blended
Jazz by YSL - Recognize as strong tobacco worth to add into your wardrobe.
Quorum - Definitly the powerfull of tobacco & leathery powerhouse

Hilde Soiliani Bell' Antonio is the smell of smoked cigarettes and coffee. Reminds me of diners I hung out in at 4AM.
Another one is Etat Libre D'Orange Jasmin et Cigarette it is a very interesting fragrance indoles and cigarette, not for everybody to be sure.
One of the most interesting tobacco fragrances is Alt-Innsbruck it is an old cologne/ after shave that has a deliciously narcotic tobacco feel to it. Feels like slapping a Kool menthol cigarette on your face.

Cheers!

What about "I just smoked a fresh cut Cuban cigar"? Check out cigar by Remy Latour, it's mighty good. People compare it to Cuba Red, but they are nothing alike. Cuba Red is much more spicy and synthetic smelling, Cigar actually smells like its name.

My exploration of tobacco led to so many wonderful scents but, as petruccijc and SMM point out, not for everyone:

Jasmin et Cigarette by ELdO ("ashtray" floral scent)
Back to Black By Kilian (sweet vanilla pipe tobacco)
Aimez Moi by Caron (violet with tobacco)
Versace The Dreamer (light tobacco notes)
Ambre Russe (light tobacco scent with tea and vodka, amber to swoon over)
Le Dandy by D'Orsay (YES, I know...tobacco with cognac)
Tabacca by Costamor (sweet tobacco fruity)
Boudoir by Vivienne Westwood (tobacco/powdery)
Habanita by Molinard (tobacco with vanilla and vetiver/powder)

I don't know about Jazz having tobacco that is noticeable, but Quorum is powerful tobacco, with greenery on top.

I was thinking Tobacco Vanille too, but it smells more like the tobacco plant itself.

Yes, I was about to recommend this one as well. Actually, I am surprised I rarely here the mention of the similarities of Anvers to Aramis Havana. They are not identical, but surely they share a similar accord at some point.

+1 That's exactly what I was thinking too.

But if "I-just-smoked-a-cigarette" vibe is what I'm after, I'd probably pick Dolce & Gabbana pour Homme with its stale cigarette undertones. +1 on Michael from Michael Kors too.

I smoke about two packs a day, and I hate the after-smoking scent. Especially hate if it's the I-smoked-a-cigarette-in-under-a-minute type.

Though I love the smell of a fresh cigarette, or better yet, quality rolling tobacco.

I get a bit of a "just smoked a cigarette" vibe from Armani Diamonds actually. Ditto for Romance Silver. Havana, Michael Kors, Tea for Two and Fumerie Turque are all good choices as well.

Oh tobacco..Jasmin et cigarette gives the impression of "I just smoked a cigarette while wearing jasmine perfume.
Fumerie Turque and Chergui are more of a hookah smoky note not cigarette.They both remind me of coffeeshops in Maghreb countries where the men drink coffees and smoke hookah!For a clean tobacco note Herrera for men!

I make note a diffrence between "just smoked a cigarette" and a tobacco smell, so some of the tobacco scents referenced don't sound to me like "just smoked a cigarette."

Jasmin et Cigarette by ELdO sounds like a possibility. I know some people think Creed BdP has a bit of an "ashtray" smell.

Polo, definitely, but it's more frankincense than tobacco. The original Aramis is probably closer to cigarette smoke, but it too smells more like the inside of a church.

Then again, cigarette smoke is a rather stale, nauseating sort of aroma, and I don't imagine it's something that any perfumer aspires to.
