Cosy fireside scent for the colder months
Tabacco Toscano is primarily a labdanum-vanilla amber accord with a secondary accord of smoky tobacco which resembles lapsang souchong tea. It is very warm, smooth, and cosy; and for some reason, reminds me strongly of sitting by the fireplace in winter. I think the smoke note really resembles burning logs in a wood fire. It’s a beautiful scent, which would be really comforting in winter (it’s the wrong season for it in my country atm). Despite the listed leather note, I don’t smell anything resembling leather.
A lot of reviewers seem to think there is a “freshness” to this that makes it wearable in warmer weather, but I don’t get that, and it feels unsuitable for summer.
I love ambers, and I love this scent, but unfortunately, I think it is far too expensive for the performance. Of course, this is a cologne, so it’s expected to be quite weak, however if I can still barely smell something after several sprays I’m not inclined to dish out over 200AUD for a full bottle, no matter how beautiful the smell. I also have another (MUCH cheaper) fragrance with a very similar amber accord, which I prefer over this one due to its seasonal versatility, so I probably won’t bother buying a bottle of Tabacco Toscano once my sample runs out. It’s a pity, because I really do like the amber+tobacco combination.
