Decadent flair, Gauloises, wine and high heels
At first I see an elegant lady strolling through chic shopping arcades in a picturesque big city; whether in Paris, Rome, Prague or Barcelona.
Playful and haughty at the same time I feel the fragrance.
Fruity sorbet with citrusy coolness and neat sugar.
Plum with heavy jam sweetness, currant juice.
Artful rose petal decoration of sugar draped on pretty cakes.
The fruit attack actually reminds me a bit of Mon Paris Eau de Parfum ; fruit syrup sweetness, which is not so my cup of tea, even if Tabac Rose smells more high-quality and there is a slight woodiness right at the beginning, which gives the fragrance more depth than the Mon Paris.
Somehow I smell at times also a "tipsy alcohol note" out like the last residual puddles of fruity cocktails that remain in glasses after a long party night.
From further away, there's something captivating about Tabac Rose that I like, holding my nose right up to my wrist during the opener bothers me a bit.
The fruit notes don't make it so easy for me...
So I wait until the arguably dominant, quaffable alcohol fruit notes fade, wait longingly for rose & cinnamon, which can then also slowly creep in, and with the added spice it then becomes nice;
sweet rose with spicy cinnamon, oriental spice bazaar vibes and tart cocoa, which I perceive only subtly in the background, it does not become gourmand-sweet.
Later, the rose also distances itself and it reminds me very slightly of Grand Soir in gentle and feminine (the labdanum note?) with sweet-smoky-woody tobacco.
In any case, a fragrance with an interesting course, which I curiously like to spray on the wrist, but it is not a personal love so far; "Gris Charnel | bdk Parfums" and Velvet Tonka have pleased me even better.
