This is a bold, spicy, warm, yet sweet fragrance dominated by prominent notes of tobacco & vanilla. It's actually a Paris Corner release from 2021. A very affordable clone of Tom Ford's Tobacco Vanilla. From the few clone/dupes of this that I've had my nose on this is my favourite too date. It opens up with a strong & spicy blast, dominated by the Tobacco Leaf note and other spices, But there is also a hint of a clove or a tea like aspect. Obviously the tobacco shines through here, it's a more refined dry leaf, it's really nice. As it develops, it becomes sweeter & creamier. The mid-notes include Vanilla, Tonka Bean, Tobacco Blossom & Cocoa. This is where the vanilla truly emerges, blending beautifully with the tobacco. The dry down introduces a touch of complexity with notes of Dried Fruits & Woody Notes, providing a long-lasting, warm finish. For a budget friendly clone, I paid like €24 for this, it's a great performer, lasting most of the day. It starts with a moderate to strong projection for the first hour or two before settling into a more intimate, yet present, scent cloud. In comparison, Charuto may have a slightly more prominent clove or dried fruit note, and the tobacco can be perceived as drier than the TF original. The main difference for most is the significantly lower price point. Best suited for colder weather. My Rating: 7/10 Scent: 2 Longevity: 2 Sillage: 2 Y/N: 1

Today's scent of the evening will be Afnan 9PM. Going to the k-pop cafe with my gf to her friend's b-day party. I suspect that there's will be dance so I'll shower after work and go to the party ready for it. P.S. For the day's scent I have Acqua di Gio Profumo.
