For a cold-weather wearer who wants a sweet-and-bitter tobacco-vanilla oriental in a 100 ml bottle. Public reports disagree on staying power: one review site rates 10–12 hours, one wearer reports about six heavy hours. Read both before buying.

Pros
- · A fragrance review site rates longevity at 10–12 hours with great projection and medium sillage.
- · Buyers describe the scent as a smooth, spicy, masculine tobacco-vanilla blend.
- · The catalog composition sets cocoa and tobacco bitterness against sweet dried fruit and vanilla, which the listing frames as keeping the gourmand side from turning heavy.
- · Independent commentary places it in cold months, matching the listing's autumn/winter framing.
Cons
- · Durability reports conflict: one wearer reports roughly six heavy hours, then a lighter but still detectable drydown.
- · One user reports a slightly harsh first 5–10 minutes before the vanilla rounds it out.
- · A buyer describes the profile as masculine while the listing labels it unisex — sample before assuming a shared-wear fit.
Fit notes
A single 100 ml bottle, so there is no size range to choose. Fragrance has no size chart; the relevant fit is wear context, and reviewers place this in a cold-weather rotation rather than year-round use.
Buy if
You want a unisex spicy-oriental built on tobacco, tonka bean, vanilla, cocoa and dried fruit, and you plan to wear it in autumn and winter. Reasonable if you accept that wearer reports differ on endurance and are willing to sample first.
Skip if
You prefer light, warm-weather scents, or you dislike a sweet gourmand edge cut by cocoa and tobacco bitterness. Also skip if you need one consistent performance figure — the public reports contradict each other.

Buying FAQ
Common questions
How long does it last?⌄
Reports differ. One review site rates longevity at 10–12 hours with great projection and medium sillage, while one wearer reports about six hours of heavy presence followed by a lighter drydown that stays detectable.
What does it smell like?⌄
Catalog notes list tobacco spice up top, tonka bean, tobacco, floral, vanilla and cocoa in the middle, and dried fruit and wood at the base. One buyer calls the blend smooth, spicy and masculine; another found the opening harsh for 5–10 minutes before the vanilla develops.
Is it unisex?⌄
The listing labels it a unisex scent, and one buyer describes the blend as masculine. If you plan to share the bottle, sample it on both wearers first.
When is it meant to be worn?⌄
Independent commentary puts it in the cold months, roughly two to three months of the year, which lines up with the listing's autumn/winter guidance.
Is there a comparable alternative?⌄
A user recommends Al Haramain Amber Oud Tobacco as a close, long-lasting alternative for anyone wanting a similar scent profile.
