About this deal

And, while smoking tobacco recreationally has fallen out of fashion and is verboten in many parts of the world, wearing tobacco perfume has once again become permissible and intriguing. Some speculate that it was impacted by the International Fragrance Association (IFRA)’s revised standards, which were introduced in 2013 and triggered a wave of reformulations of popular fragrances. (We haven’t been able to deny or confirm.) Layering The very mention of tobacco nowadays is enough to raise eyebrows and cause frowns. And yet, that wasn’t always the case; smoking and wearing tobacco was once fashionable.

Having served as the Creative Director at Italy-based fashion powerhouse Gucci and, previously, at French luxury house Yves Saint Laurent, Thomas Carlyle Ford founded Tom Ford in 2005. Perfume wearers took every opportunity to light a cigarette and take a puff, lacing their clothes with the overpowering smell of burnt tobacco. Perfume makers were left with no other choice than to adapt. But, instead of trying to mask tobacco’s smell, they added it as a note in their fragrances. As tobacco use declined, so did the use of tobacco perfumes. They turned into a relic from the past, fragrances from a time long forgotten and unknown to many. The top notes are tobacco and oriental spices. The heart notes are vanilla, cacao, tonka bean, and tobacco flower blossom. The base notes are dried fruit and sweet wood sap. The opening is smoky and peppery, it hits you right off the bat. (Some say it’s so strong, it almost always makes them sneeze).Tom Ford’s Tobacco Vanille Eau de Parfum (EDP) is sold in five sizes: a 0.33 fl oz (10 ml) travel spray and 1 fl oz (30 ml), 1.7 fl oz (50 ml), 3.4 fl oz (100 ml), and a gigantic, 8.45 fl oz (250 ml) bottle.

Tobacco Vanille is a fragrance for the man or woman with strength and courage. It exudes a combination of elegance and warmth so rare that it suits only a certain type of wearer who is so self-reliant that he or she dares to be authentic and sincere in a way that society has long forgotten.

As the scent settles on the skin, the sweetness of the vanilla and the creaminess of the tonka bean slowly but surely unfold. You can smell the musky and heady scent of the tobacco plant. Add boozines to Tobacco Vanille by layering it with Kayali’s Vanilla | 28, an amber vanilla fragrance for women. The result can best be described as Tobacco Vanille Dipped in Rum. Sizes For someone who prides himself on having quit smoking many years ago, I find the smell of Tobacco Vanille strangely familiar and relapsingly addictive. It is dark, but also playful. It is stimulating, but also hyggelig. It is assertive, but also inviting. If you recognize yourself in that description, it will fit you like a pair of driving gloves as you ride around town on an autumn day in your 80’s Porsche with the top down.When Columbus reached the coast of Cuba in 1492, one of the many novelties of the New World that unfolded before his eyes was native Cubans smoking cigars made of dried tobacco rolled in binder leaves. The vanilla is clearly perceptible as the scent dries down, and is accompanied by dried fruit—in an oriental way, mind you, not a tropical one—as well as sugary wood sap, the kind Canadians boil to make maple syrup. A year later, in 2007, Tom Ford introduced the Private Blend Collection of luxury fragrances, and, with the addition of new scents, that collection has been growing since.
