"Tobacco vanilla" is revealed in the first 20 minutes after application, playing with you the spicy sweetness of vanilla and the restrained refinement of tobacco. As if an adult wealthy man from high society was in the company of a coquettish young mistress. Sugar and bitterness, experience against mischief, high cost, flavored with frivolity.

Similar flavors in Tom Ford's lineup

Sometimes, when you try out a well-known fragrance, the thought arises: "I like it, but I do not want this flavor, but something like that from a perfumer."

The second smell, also rather male than unisex, is Tom Ford Arabian Wood. "Arab tree" is more mysterious than "Vanilla tobacco", it is based on notes of moss and cedar.

Close on sounding other tobacco flavors

Description of the Tabac Rouge Phaedon Pyramid is significantly different from the flavor Tobacco Vanille. In the recipe - ginger, honey, vanilla, cinnamon and musk. Meanwhile, this smell is considered very similar to the tobacco fragrance from Tom Ford. The same pleasant warmth and energy, restraint and the indispensable high cost of perception.

How not to buy a fake

With a niche perfume, unlike the mass market, it is impossible to buy a fake. The fact is that forging a luxury is not advisable - a gourmet will not buy a favorite scent in a small shop on the market for a price, five times lower than the original, and the ordinary buyer simply does not know about the fragrances of selective perfumery due to lack of advertising.

Prices for perfume by Tom Ford are higher at times the cost of the advertised perfume. For example, the official price of Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille 100ml is 23,000 rubles, 50 ml can be purchased for 15,000 rubles. In online stores, there are a lot of offers below the manufacturer's price, testers are also offered - whether you will be lucky with the purchase of the original, you can learn only by experience.

By the way, it is worth noting that the price of the original product may change due to the peg to the dollar. Since the rate varies from day to day, then the cost of the imported product varies.

Oil versions of Tom Ford - is it worth trying?

Now in the malls and shopping centers of major cities of the CIS countries, you can also find branded points with bottled perfume based on the oil base. Vendors of such goods do not trivialize - in the offered assortment only selective, and aromas when meeting are really similar to the original. Meanwhile, the key word is "similar", since you can not acquire the quality that the manufacturer offers.

Even if the oil perfume is close in sound to the original, the similarity will be about the same as between children's champagne and a real adult drink. But the price will not bite, for example, the "oil" Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille 100 ml will cost you 7-8 thousand rubles. It is worth noting that such variations of the famous perfume are very persistent, because in the basis of the oil lies. Genuine products are created in a different way, without the use of oils in the recipe, otherwise it could not be applied to clothing without leaving greasy stains.

Negative feedback on "Tobacco Vanilla"

Tom Ford, by virtue of his special vision of the world as a designer and an enthusiast, creates products for his client, with a unique worldview and a sense of beauty. If a person accustomed to the advertised perfumery will try the aromas of Tom Ford, there is little chance that he will be delighted. Tom Ford will also not like young people, without the formed taste and preferences.

On the forums of perfumery lovers, one can find a comparison of "Tobacco Vanilla" with the aroma of a cooled ashtray or with the transplanted ice cream. Therefore, you need to read the reviews, but you can draw your own conclusion only after a personal acquaintance with the perfume creations of Tom Ford.
