Pipe tobacco frag? (Not Tobacco Vanille!)

[StylinLA]

A correction: Odori is a line launched by the creator of BOIS 1920. It has nothing to do with I Profumi di Firenze. The review is for the latter's Tabacco and has nothing to do with Odori's product.

Ahhhh okay...what's this?

It's the usual Italian mess with names . The full name of the Odori line is Odori - Profumi di Firenze (scents of Florence), as each perfume is supposed to represent some aspect of Florentine culture/history. Notice that this line, like Bois 1920, is produced by Morris, a large (by Italian standards) industrial fragrance firm.
I Profumi di Firenze, on the other hand, is a smaller, local, totally different operation.

So exactly which scent named "Tabacco" was Turin reviewing if not Odori/Profumo di Firenze?

Tabacco by I Profumi di Firenze. It is listed on their site. I had it once and didn't like it at all.

[StylinLA]

If you check his guide, he seems to review the whole Odori line under the name Profumo di Firenze

Spigo, Cuoio, Zefferano, Tabacco

[DULLAH]

Vento Canale wasn't even sold as a tobacco fragrance proper (thus the name). I haven't sniffed it in a whilew and my nose is clogged right now, but it is sweet and gourmandy, like flavored pipe tobacco (raspberry notes), though in no way gooey - and less synthetic smelling to me than the somewhat comparable, but overpowering, Bogart pour homme. I have not tried Tom Ford.

Well, the Tom Ford is very sweet, and very good.
I see you own Casran, Chergui, Cristobal, Varvatos?
Would you say Vento Canale has sweetness equal to any of these? less? more?

[the_good_life]

You know what, you're right. While "I Profumi di Firenze" also has Spigo, Cuoio and Iris they have longer names. And the $$$$ price point suggests Odori. Also, it is Profumo di Firenze in Turin, which it says at the top of the Odori flacons, while "Odori" is etched in at the bottom, below the fragrance name. It is strange he didn't review the flagship scent "Gli Odori" (and comment on the - methinks - hideous bottles.) My apologies for creating confusion where I thought I was clarifying.

It's been ages since I smelled any of those. I'd have to compare when my nose is clear again. It IS sweet, no doubt about that.

it is confusing...I think Profumo di Firenze is the "mother company" for both Bois and Odori and it's a bunch of marketing junk. Likely, when Turin was reviewiing/writing, the Odori name may not have been attached to his samples or some such.

I had the his guide quite awhile before I pieced it together. The spelling "Tabacco" with an "a" after the "T" is odd. Then I notice all the other Odoris reviewed by their frag name, but as a "Firenze".

Whattttt??? I love the Odori bottles.

Here you go - its a Cavendish Black cologne - just like your bf carries. Its from an artisan soapmaker who makes great shaving soaps.

Check out Varvatos Vintage. It smell kind like unsmoked tobacco and rawhide leather on the skin. It isn't as masculine on paper.

I imagine Clint Eastwood wearing this. It's a proud member of my wardrobe.

[Balavassassin]

Hmm,

I seem to call "Aramis - Havana" and "Polo Green" as having distinct pipe tobacco scents, though forgive me if I'm wrong.

[StylinLA]

I wore Polo for years and sure don't remember that OR if there was such a note it wasn't in the vein that OP is seeking

[DULLAH]

Hi all, wondering if you had any ideas about finding a pipe tobacco fragrance. My BF carries around pipe tobacco in his jacket and it smells wonderful. I'd like him to smell of it without the jacket on! It's Black Cavendish tobacco, a rich, slightly vanilla-y blend. I know Tobacco Vanille would be the obvious choice, but a) it's overpriced, and b) I find Tom Ford kind of annoying. It would be nice if there was a little smoke in it as well, like the smell of a pipe. Anyone tried the Demeters? (Pipe Tobacco, Whiskey Tobacco, and This Is Not a Pipe.)

It seems like a lot of things have tobacco in the list of notes but aren't very tobacco-ish, I guess because smoking is so unacceptable these days!

Ok, if we are using Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille as a baseline, a reference point......is there anything in Tobacco vanille you think should be more prominent or less prominent?

Of all the obvious notes:

Pipe Tobacco
Tonka/Coumarin
Vanilla
dried fruit
clove/spice
cocoa

The reason i ask is that i have all the samples coming my way, and feel I can do everyone on the board a great service if we use TFTV as a baseline for what to compare them to.

I have already tested or own:

Tom Ford Tobacco vanille
Bogart Pour Homme
Micheal Kors for men
Very Valentino
Versace Dreamer, Versace man
Burberry London
Armani Attitude
Serge Lutens Chergui
Serge Lutens Fumerie Turque
Aramis havana
Maitre Eau Des Iles

The samples I have coming are:

Odori Tabacco
Guerlain Spirituese Double vanille
Alt innsbruck
TGQ Black Cavendish extrait
Sonoma Scent studio Tabac Aurea
Demeter Pipe Tobacco
Demeter Whiskey Tobacco
Demeter This is Not a Pipe
Ava Luxe Sweet Tobacco
CB I Hate Perfume Pipe Tobacco Premium Accord
CB I hate Perfume Smokey Tobacco premium accord

So I'm sure out of those we may find a suitable, less expensive scent that may even be more to your liking than Tobacco Vanille, just be as descriptive as possible about what would ideally lessen or strengthen in TObacco Vanille besides the price

[DULLAH]

PinkFizzy, have you found your fix yet?

[Dimitrios]

Some very nice suggestions gentlemen .
I have had the pleasure of trying round half of these mentioned .
Another one we can add to this list is :

" GRAN VALOR " by Maurer & Wirtz

Here's a link with some fresh discussions on it
http://www.basenotes.net/threads/230...alor?p=1730969

[DULLAH]

Dimitrios,
How would you say it compares to the other M&W Tabacs?
And what scent in this thread would you say it is closest to?

[Carlos]

You lucky lucky guy! Pardon the noobish question, but does Lancome own Tom Ford? Why would the Tom Ford line, Private Blends especially, be carried at a Lancome outlet?

AKAIK, Lancome manufactures the Tom Ford fragrance line. I don't know if they have a stake in the "Tom Ford" brand.

[Galleddrim]

I've been on quite a tobacco streak lately. Here are a few that I enjoy wearing:

Aramis Havana
Creed Tabarome
Trussardi Inside Man
Cuba Red

[mrclmind]

The original Monsieur Rochas (not the pink stuff) was formulated to smell like pipe tobacco. It's really good. I know you can buy decants of it from TPC, but it is not available in it's original formula anywhere easily as far as I know.

[Primrose]

I am going to make a bizarre thread bump here and recommend Vivienne Westwood's Boudoir for a tobacco accord.

There is a strong tobacco/tobacco leaf accord here once you get past the sweet, girly topnotes. DO NOT look at the bottle and pink juice inside... LOL! This is a vanilla/tobacco scent.

I think the review here is interesting...

Bogart Pour Homme

[Bossa Nova]

Equipage/Hermes = cold pipe.

Sorry if it's been mentioned, there was alot to read through.

[Perfume_Addict]

Nope, no such luck, unfortunately! It's the Cosmetics Company Store for Lancome at the Premium Outlets here... they have the whole line for $132. They have the roller sample set as well, the rest of the Tom Ford goodies (Black Orchid whole line, White Patchouli, etc), plus all kinds of other things. If you happen to be in Orlando and go there, there are two of the same store in the mall and only one has them (the one near Banana Republic, not the one near the parking garage).

this is good to know! We have both the Lancome and Estee Lauder outlets at a mall nearby, so I'll go and check to see if they have this. One of my friends was smitten by Tabacco Vanille, but didn't want to pay that much!

Hey up Dullah,
your search is one after my own heart and I'm horribly interested in the outcome, after some searching I settled with Fumerie Turque, maybe I should have tried harder . Of the ones on your sample list I've tried the Odori....meh, the Spiriteuse, is a personal failure on me though lovely on others, and while the Tabac Aurea is gorgeous I find it too feminine for my tastes. Some one has mentioned Gran Valor, it certainly can't be called feminine but it is meant to be out of production, either way it's at the bottom end of the scale.

Hope you post when you decide.

[Wiesel87]

This might not be too helpful but: I was recently at Abu Dhabi Intl. Airport and tried a perfume simply called "Tobacco" from a house (I believe from UAE) called "Anfas Alkhaleej". Black, simple bottle with a sign in gold on it. It smelled gorgeous of rich pipe tobacco. Less sweet then Tobacco Vanille and it stayed pretty linear. It didn't have the typical "Oud/oriental note" that many of the perfumes here from Arab perfume houses have. At 335 AED (93 USD) for 100 ml it was also priced fairly. I regret that I didn't buy the bottle because I cannot find it online, not even on Anfas Alkhaleej website. As I live in Kuala Lumpur, which has quite a lot of Arab/Oud shops around, I guess I'll ask if they have it. Otherwise, if you are at Abu Dhabi Airport (probably Dubai, too) check it out! ;-)

[RedRaider430]

I think you would like Mugler's Amen Pure Havane, and

L'Artisan's Tea for Two and/or Coeur de Vetiver Sacre.

Seek out samples of these.

Bogart Pour Homme

this.

[Bonnette]

My father smoked a pipe and I'll never forget the aroma of his cherry tobacco as he packed the bowl - Phaedon's Tabac Rouge smells just like that.
