Decided to try this one again since I really love the Tobacco Sapphire from Boadicea. This one is not as nice as that, but has a smoky onset but drys down into something that is very soft and smooth, but you have to lean into to it over time to make sure its still there. I will have to work on spray count for this one to make sure I get what I need 😎 Here's ChatGPT's thoughts. Tabacco Toscano – Santa Maria Novella Fragrance Family: Tobacco / Woody / Leather Gender: Unisex (leans masculine) Style: Warm, leathery, sweet, smoky, old-world luxury Type: Acqua di Colonia (SMN’s version of EDT strength but behaves like a soft EDP) This is one of Santa Maria Novella’s flagship masculine scents, inspired by Tuscan cigar tobacco, leather workshops, and warm Florentine air. ⭐ Full Olfactory Profile – Pyramid Breakdown Top Notes - Bergamot - Citrus peel - Light aromatic herbs You get a quick, fresh opening — not sharp, but clean and bright enough to lift the rich tobacco beneath. Heart Notes - Tobacco leaves (sweet, leafy, aromatic — not smoky) - Leather (old-school, refined, soft) - Vanilla (warm, sweet, balancing the tobacco) - Amber (adds golden warmth) This is where the fragrance becomes unmistakably Italian tobacco — warm, rich, sweet-leathery, and incredibly elegant. Base Notes - Dark woods - Soft smoke (like cigar smoke trailing off a leather chair — delicate, not heavy) - Animalic tone (very subtle — gives depth) - Powdery vanilla (creamy, sweet, skin-like) The dry-down is soft, warm, leathery-sweet tobacco with a vintage European character. 🎩 How It Smells (in plain language) Imagine: - A freshly rolled Tuscan cigar - A leather armchair in a small Florentine artisan workshop - Warm vanilla and sweet tobacco drying in the afternoon sun - Soft smoke floating in a quiet room This is refined tobacco, not harsh, not smoky, not synthetic.It smells like a gentleman’s tobacco, old-world, clean, warm, elegant.

Does sprays distance matter? I have read if you spray too close, it concentrates it on you and doesn't give the frag a chance to develope and/or lift and causes a weak projection. I haven't done an official test to compare, but have you experimented with distance at which you sprays at? If so, what were your results? Sounds like an experiment for tomorrow😁
