Tobacco Vanille is one of the best-selling scents in Tom Ford’s Private Blend Collection. It smells like the most authentic Havana cigar you’ve ever held in your hands, dipped in an opulent cocktail of the wondrous spices and dried fruit sold by the overly polite and unapologetically pushy merchants in the crowded narrow streets of Istanbul’s spice bazaar. The opening is smoky and peppery, it hits you right off the bat. As the scent settles on the skin, the sweetness of the vanilla and the creaminess of the tonka bean slowly but surely unfold. You can smell the musky and heady scent of the tobacco plant.
