Exclusif Tabac, from Maison Alhambra was released in 2022. The perfumer behind this creation is unknown. It has the top notes of Artemisia, Citruses, Ginger, and Osmanthus, middle notes of Guaiac Wood, Patchouli, Tobacco, and Vetiver, and base notes of Tonka Bean.
Had to blind buy this one. It has some high praise from some reviewers on YouTube, and I’ve always loved the smell of actual unlit sweet pipe tobacco (which is what I was hoping this would smell like). It’s loud as heck, but for me it came up short in the complexity category, and the scent profile in general. I’d say if you want to enjoy this absolute beastly performer, spray it on a shirt you’re going to wear in a couple days from about four feet away. Feels like something is missing, and it smells pretty synthetic with some far too distant vague powdery wood notes. Overall, it may need time to macerate, but this one is the reason I won’t buy clones or perfumes from the UAE again. Hey at least I learned something and I sold it to an older gentleman who likes it mostly because it gets wanted attention from the lady in his life.
