Tobacolor
Christian Dior (2021)

Just bought myself a bottle of Tobacolor.

While Pineward Treacle is a heavy tobacco with molasses, Slumberhouse Jeke is a resinous, sirupy tobacco with huge rum cask influence and benzoin and Tobacco Vanille is a cherry scented tobacco with vanilla twist, this is probably leaning towards Tom Ford’s TV. The difference is Tobacolor has different fruits - to me peaches.

This is nowhere as strong as Slumberhouse Kiste, and Kiste is definitely more wearable during warm weather (definitely not summer though - spring and early autumn fit the bill), Tobacolor is a typical autumn-winter warmer. I am mentioning Kiste because both have peach in their notes breakdown.

At times might be a little boozy, I would call it rather safe and cozy in general. And it makes it suitable for office use, just with lighter application.

Hard to tell wether this one was already reformulated or not yet. If so - this is reformulation done right. But I think it might be left untouched, which is a good thing.

This is oriental tobacco like Tobacco Vanille and in general this theme was played over and over again - some might say. That is correct.

But Tobacolor is rather a journey, an experience, a perfume that takes me places. I love that. Being in the countryside, observing bees doing their job around their beehive. Somewhere around my great grandpa with his son are working and smoking pipe tobacco, both of them. Then, at the end of the day we eat together, myself eating a sandwich with a good slab of honey on the bread and drinking hot tea. Memories.

Longevity is over 7 hours, sillage is a little above average.

A strong, interesting perfume, but not quite for me. My wife says it’s in a similar spirit to Le Lion de Chanel, a big, darkly sweet smell that’s good for autumn.

Super longevity: a day later and it’s still going strong. It has a bit of a tobacco feel that’s promising at first, but I’m over it from this never-ending wearing.

If this fragrance were a song it would be Sweet by Cigarettes After Sex.this scent screams date night,this scent screams sex.this is thick syrupy honey and cherry pipe tobacco on me.the tobacco here is sweet,rounded,elegant,and well grounded.it reminds me of times enjoying a sweet cuban cigar sipping on a scotch or quality bourbon. irresistible, seductive,alluring:these describe it well.

Very sexy while the plum and honey are a heavy opening,it slowly disappears into a beautiful harmony and waves of tobacco,wood,and a wafting of warmth. the honey in this reminds me Back to Black more so in the opening.while the opening is more feminine to me it changes to a rather manly scent after 1 - 2 hours.it has a sweetness of smell like autumn leaves.if you love Tom Ford TV then this is a nice surprise for you.

Really enjoying this one.

Tobacco, honey, peach, smoke. The tobacco is quite prominent but is also very sweet. Kind of a cross between something like Red Tobacco & Oajan. Not sure It's something I personally want or need at this moment in time but very nice nevertheless. If you enjoy sweet tobacco fragrances then you will be in for a real treat. Good performer.

Tobacco and honey. Solid Performance
