It really is unbelievably great. I wore it for the first time yesterday - light floral shirt, 26 degrees outside, bright sunshine and almost no wind. It was absolutely perfect. I haven't smelled anything in a long time that has turned me on as much as this one. In fact, it smells like the scenario already described here: coming out of the salt water, back onto the towel, which smells of sun cream & then mixes with the salt water. The whole thing is incredibly wearable and invigorating.

In terms of performance, I can say that the fragrance lasts flawlessly - you can easily wear it through a summer's day or night. I can still smell it very clearly the next day, both on my skin and on my clothes. In my opinion, it sticks particularly well to clothes. The sillage is decent, and my expectations are completely fulfilled. Overall, a very pleasing P/L ratio - top! I would also like to emphasize the very chic bottle - it looks relatively basic in the online presentation, but when unpacked at home it looks amazing. The lid and the plaque in the middle, for example, are high-gloss - everything looks very valuable and beautiful.

"Salaria" is refreshing. Not just as a fragrance, but also refreshing in terms of current perfume trends. Instead of indulging in the umpteenth, completely overdone Oriental plonk, try something like this - I promise it's worth it.

I bought it the other day without a second's hesitation, simply as a blind buy. Tobacco & vanilla, straightforward throughout - what could possibly go wrong? I put it on for the first time today at 12 degrees outside + sunshine and I can say with a clear conscience that it is (at least) really as great as it is said to be. The balance is very perfect in my opinion.

Speaking of rumors, I would like to take this opportunity to address a few aspects that keep popping up about TF Tobacco Vanilla:

1. "The Christmas scent" - I hardly felt it in the same way. It doesn't smell like gingerbread to me, nor like cinnamon, Christmas stollen, roasted almonds, Christmas market etc.. Just tobacco & vanilla, that's it.

2. "Winter fragrance" - I can't really subscribe to this either. It's heavy on the one hand, but really smooth and pleasant on the other. Zero pungent, zero synthetic, I see no reason why it should only be used in winter.

3. "It's not versatile enough for me, I wouldn't know when to wear it" - Well, just wear it for a few days in general. Then you'll quickly realize that it's often very suitable. Because once again, it's not a complex, complicated fragrance that will bother you or those around you. It is simple and straightforward. It therefore makes sense to handle the fragrance accordingly & not to make atomic physics out of it.

4. "It reminds me of Tony Montana" - Ooooooooohhhhhhhjaaaa!
This association fits like a glove. Miami in the 80s, imagine Tony and Manny (both in Hawaiian shirts) on a sunny afternoon, sitting in a yellow Cadillac convertible. Tony calls out to him with a Cuban cigar in the corner of his mouth "Manny, give me some more of that stuff!" - Manny reaches into the glove compartment and pulls out a packet of Yayo. Tony shouts hot-headedly at him "Not that stuff! Well, the stuff from the brown/gold bottle, you know, Tom Ford!".

I also came across the fragrance through the beard oil and bought my first bottle (I now have a second one) from the local barber around the corner. The fragrance was not yet available at Douglas or other perfumeries at the time. My barber just spontaneously gave me the stuff after a full beard treatment - I'm so grateful to him for that!

Booze & Baccy just smells strange (in a positive way), wicked, rocked out and totally "over the top", especially in the first few hours. It is precisely this "being over the top" that gives the fragrance (+ the wearer in the best case) a really great IDGAF attitude, with which you can take yourself and your stressful everyday life a little more lightly and less seriously. It then nestles around you at some point and becomes warmer. The alcohol/tobacco note fades somewhat and spices join in. Incidentally, the name of the fragrance fits like a glove: take a pub ashtray full to the brim and pour a bottle of rum over it - that's it! Just don't give a shit!

I think the P/L ratio is excellent. We have a really great shelf life here and a fragrance that really radiates for just 80 euros.

Contrary to many claims, in my opinion it is much more suitable for everyday wear than you might think, if it suits the wearer. I wore it again today after a longer period of time (I wear it far too rarely) and can imagine wearing it every day.

While Thomas Shelby & his Peaky Blinders roamed the streets of Birmingham, they will have worn this stuff for sure!

I finally found it while looking for an office fragrance that shouldn't smell like a run-of-the-mill shower gel. I love wearing TDH (EDT and Pure Perfume), as it is often associated with it, it was a blind buy, which I don't regret.

It is clearly different from TDH, due to the strong dominance of pepper and woods. The TDH is consistently citrusy and tart, this one is citrusy and spicy. I wouldn't say: if you have TDH, you don't need this one anymore - but if you already have TDH, you need this one even more, as it interprets something similar in a very unique, somewhat more potent and really beautiful way.

I find the longevity excellent, I was able to perceive the fragrance well for 12 hours today - it lasts better on clothes than on (my) skin and I don't quite understand how it only gets an 8.0 here in terms of longevity. Let's also go back to TDH: it definitely doesn't last this long, at least for me, as it ends after 6 hours, both EDT and perfume. That's a good thing, the difference between niche & designer should not only be recognized in the surcharge, but also in the quality and performance. This is the case here!

In my opinion, "Oxford" would be absolutely perfect if it radiated a little more distinctly. Yes, it is a gentleman's fragrance, to which a subtle sillage certainly suits, but despite this, I would definitely not want to withhold it from other noses.

Bought blind about 3 months ago and had it on for the first time yesterday. I have waited extra, because I did not want to apply it in summer, of course, he is not really suitable for that in my opinion.

The fragrance has already been described sufficiently here, so I can sign everything. I find it the way it is, also quite simple (simple and very good), doesn't need much execution at all. With me the leather probably does not disappear so fast, as reported here & there, that remained quite long well perceptible. I really like the smell, I wouldn't recommend buying it blind (the way I did it), because you have to get along with the leather, you have to like that.

I find durability + Sillage very excellent. He kept on my skin loosely for more than 10 hours, even after the shower he still noticed it lightly and pleasantly. I also found the fragrance cloud pleasant and not intrusive with 4 splashes. I have been able to catch a compliment, so it may also have been noticed.

All in all, I am very satisfied here
