Tabarome Clones

"### How it Smells Tabac opens with a candied citrus blast – more orange gummy bear than refined bergamot. The ginger emerges quickly, not sharp or spicy, but candied as well, like ginger chews left out in the sun. This sweetness persists, eventually mingling with a robust tobacco note. Imagine aged pipe tobacco, stored in a cedar box, but overlaid with a persistent, synthetic maple aroma. The ambergris in the base manifests as a salty, mineralic tang battling against the sweetness. There's a discordance here – the tobacco feels like a separate entity, not fully integrated into the composition. Where the inspiration showcases dry sophistication, Tabac leans towards gourmand territory with an underlying, almost rubbery, plastic scent. ### Final Thoughts This fragrance projects an image of someone who tries too hard to present as refined. He's the guy at the cigar lounge wearing a silk shirt two sizes too small, boasting loudly about his “successful” investments. He enjoys the trappings of luxury, but lacks the innate sophistication to truly pull it off. He might drive a leased sports car, wear a designer watch (likely counterfeit), and sprinkle catchphrases he learned from YouTube videos into every conversation. The Vibe Curator suggests that he smells a bit like someone trying too hard. ### How Long Does it Last? On my skin, Tabac lasts a solid six hours. The projection is initially strong, filling a room for the first hour, before settling closer to the skin, detectable within an arm's length for the next three hours, then becoming a skin scent. I tested it in an office environment; the initial projection felt almost inappropriate, drawing unwanted attention, while the drydown became more palatable."
