Tobacco Vanille Tom Ford for women and men

I'm wearing this after a long time. This scent takes me back to 2010-2011, I wore this scent on my first date with my husband, it has a very different place for me

A Wow! What a fragrance, smells nice, tangy and hottt! WOWOWOWOW yeah babe. Chicken out

It honestly just smells like old dried fruit to me. I don’t get any of the vanilla or spices. I much prefer Noir Extreme

Smells like it would laugh at me and call me poor

no kidding, smells like you showered indian masala (spice infused) tea, mainly cardamom and then someone proceeded to blow cigarette smoke onto you.

not a bad fragrance per say, personally dislike it. very strong tho

This is to me a 10/10 fragrance,
It starts out with a blast of Tobacco and Cacao, then it dries down and the Vanilla starts to push through in the most beautiful way and mixes perfectly with the tobacco.

Towards the end it becomes more vanille and less tobacco but something else happens as well, a beautiful mild fruitiness from the dried fruit pushes through and marries the vanilla.
It’s well thought through and masterfully crafted.


It also lasts forever on my skin, if i spray it in the evening i can easily smell it the next morning and quite a bit in to the day as well.

( a must have in my collection at least)

10/10

Very photorealistic chocolate cake. Isn't this supposed to be a tobacco fragrance?

This smell is tobacco done right. It deserves its rating and its price. Upon first smell, it has a beautiful and natural tobacco note with a nice and realistic smelling vanilla. As it develops, it becomes mildly chocolatey and woody with a fairly prominent tobacco note. Most tobacco smells I’ve smelled (such as Oud Malaki) smell too mature for a younger man like myself to wear. However, Tobacco Vanille smells like something suitable for anyone above age 20 (if they dress the part). In terms of price, like I mentioned above, it’s definitely worth the £220, since it develops nicely, lasts a decent amount of time (around 8 hours) and smells premium. Definitely on my buy list.

Amazing blend of tobacco, vanilla and honey. Not suitable for daily usage.

I think it is a great scent, but I personally really dislike it, causing me headache. It is too strong in my opinion.

Smells great, an exquisite contrast of flavored pipe tobacco with a sour-green edge alongside cool, semisweet vanilla. However, I agree with Luca Turin that this smells more like a room spray and less like something I'd want to wear.

Personally really disliked this, gave me a headache when smelling it, if anyone is interested in buying a bottle i’m willing to set a decent price, i need this gone ASAP.

I just don’t know about this one, I can’t decide if I like it or not! Very strong scent that smacks you in the face upon first spray with spice before settling into a vanilla, tobacco, spicy, boozy scent while remaining strong.
First thing that oddly comes to mind on the dry down is the taste of Christmas pudding with brandy sauce lol!
Very sweet and lasts for aaaages!
I’d say definitely unisex, not a safe blind buy due to the price point (insane!) and the fact it is so strong and definitely not a ‘for everyone’ scent.
In my humble opinion, this one is strictly for evenings and cooler weather, I feel like it could be nauseating/headache inducing in the warmer months.

i was so excited to try this, it smells like a bad candle. I might just hate tobacco but the vanilla just isn't pleasant either.

I have a strong dislike for this fragrance ive tried to like it by testing it every single time i walk into a sephora,macys, bloomindales any store that carries it i just dont understand the hype it punches you right in the nose as soon as u smell it and the dry down doesn't calm it down too much. Ill still try it with an open mind maybe one day ill smell this the way everyone else seems too

soooo sexy but it isn’t for someone who wants to smell effortlessly good. It’s definitely something that screams I want to leave an impression. An attention grabber for sure, very heavy.
The scent is pretty straight forward too, tobacco and vanilla. an occasional wear.

This is not a fragrance for everyone will like so don’t blind buy. It has a very harsh opening in the begging that may not be tolerable for some, including my self. The vanilla is not very noticeable as it is overshadowed by the tobacco. It has a nice dry down where the vanilla and coco come out more but are still somewhat overshadowed by the tobacco. The projection and longevity are great with you getting about 12 hours + and this definitely a more masculine leaning scent. Overall I can see why people do or do not like this fragrance, you should give a try to find you like it. I would give this a 5.5/10 as I am one of the people that does not really like it.

How are the new batches?

smelled this at the store, it's good but doesn't smell like vanilla

I got a sample because I wanted to test this out. I mean it's a cult classic and I love vanilla note in perfume, but I'm still picky with my vanillas. This perfume made me realize I don't like tobacco note. For me it's too overpowering and too masculine. This perfume is too sweet in a weird way and it made me feel sick. I also hoped the vanilla would be more prominent since it is in the name. But I hardly got any of the vanilla. After couple of hours I could faintly smell it behind the tobacco and dried fruits.

not a good blend, smells like prunes and can barely smell the vanilla.

Received a tester of Tobacco Vanille and it is almost empty already.

A hint of sweet pipe tobacco and hours later turning into sipping cognac by the fireplace. That's the only way to describe what this smelled like on me.
Have gotten many compliments on Tobacco Vanille; my husband even tried this and really liked that it wasn't too musky.
Will be purchasing this at somepoint when I have a little extra cash.

Tobacco Vanille

Can be worn for casual or formal.
Probably best worn during Fall or Winter.
The scent is not cloying.
Love the sweet and spicy combination.
Fantastic longevity 12+ hours and still present.

9/10

It is a classic smell, already known to me as it's popular - as the name says: tobacco and vanilla. I tend to like vanilla notes and w really keen to try it. And I got totally disappointed. It is for me a definition of "boomer scent". If I'd be 60 - i may wear it. For me (41) it feels like it adds many unnecessary years to my image, so I will definitetly avoid it for next years. I mean, it smells good, but it's exactly NOT they way I want to be percieved around.

In terms of quality I think this is the best Tom Ford. The name of this fragrance reviews itself, it does exactly what it says on the tin. Tobacco…and vanilla. Simple.

Of course there is more to it than that, but to someone not interested in fragrance like us then this is purely tobacco and vanilla. To me this is Christmas in a bottle. It’s very warm, rich, and spicy. The dried fruits and spices are prominent to my nose, it’s like a Christmas pudding and the vanilla note is the custard on top. The tobacco is not too dry and old, it’s high quality cigar. If you held a cigar under one nostril and a vanilla pod under the other with some spices in the background this is what you get.

It’s a fantastic winter fragrance. It projects well and lasts all day which is a rarity for Tom Ford. The price point is way too high, but that’s Tom Ford for you, at least with this one you know you’re getting quality but only buy it if you can get a deal for less than £100 for 30ml.

Scent: 9/10
Longevity: 9/10
Projection: 8.5/10
Versatility: 3/10
Price: 1.5/10

Overall: 6.2/10

The top note lasts awhile and is a very realistic tobacco scent with some spiciness. Like maybe too realistic. It’s as if you unrolled a cigarette and smelled the cured, dried tobacco. Then it settles down to a rich vanilla scent within 3 hours or so. Reminds me of spicy French vanilla ice cream. Overall I do like it, but that top note could be polarizing to some. It does smell high quality.

A golden classic. A signature in the winter that is best used for winter and fall nights and special occasions. Perfect for the holidays with nuclear performance on my skin. So strong I go nose blind a lot of the time, but so good. Sweet spicy vanilla tobacco, not too tobacco-y like jazz club since the vanilla plays a huge part. Stupid expensive tho, tobacco touch by MA may be a good alternative.

This is an amazing fragrance if you are trying to impress someone or your friends. It is a little overpriced, however it is still an amazing scent for many people out their looking for a signature fragrance. The silage and longevity is great as well.

smells like those awful cringy wattpad bad boys. disturbing. I hate my life and this perfume. if those cringy, constipated wattpad bad boys were real, they would smell like this. save all of us from this pain. I am at gods mercy at this point. please save me

i've spent about a month with my sample,

At first i thought it was heavenly. it smells a bit more mature, but definitely could be worn by younger men and women. the tobacco note is beautiful and not overpowering. i'm not a huge fan of tobacco scents but in this one i love it. It was sweeter than I was expecting, especially more into the dry down, which is what makes it versatile enough to be worn by everyone.

I absolutely loved it the first two times I wore it, however I wore it out of the house on night and I had a completely different experience. I found it way too strong, despite having only 2 sprays from the tiny sample atomizer, and so much so that it was making me nauseous. It did begin to calm down after a few hours, but still. Nobody around me said anything but I was so worried that I was obliterating their nostrils.

Ever since then when I have worn it at home I have been a bit overwhelmed by it.

In all I view this as a masterpiece, but I think it needs to be worn with moderation and poses a risk of offending others when you wear it.

I don't want a full bottle anymore, but I might buy a 10ml travel because I still have feelings for this scent, almost like an ex that you can't get off your mind.

Very sexy fragrance, vanilla and dried fruits stick out and give this a fudge like sweetness on my skin. Bitter smokiness and sticky sweetness combine to make this a somewhat edgy and sensual wear. Lasts ages on skin and clothes, can’t fault it. Gives off dark feminine vibes.

put this thing during dinner and still could've smelt in next day during lunch, this stain basically stains your clothes that smell gon be there for at least 5 days.

Sweet vanilla, tobacco, and spice (cinnamon?). Too sweet, sugar sweet rather than natural sweetness from vanilla.

I love this scent! It's so warm, sweet and cozy like a chai latte. The people complaining about this scent smelling like Christmas potpourri aren't wrong, but as someone who counts those cinnamon brooms stores sell at Christmas one of her favorites scents in the world, that's not a bad thing at all in my book. I can definitely smell cinnamon and clove here, along with the tobacco (which to my nose smells like sweet pipe tobacco rather than stale cigarettes), vanilla and tonka. I can see how this scent might be unisex, but on me at least, it smells very feminine.

This scent has great performance, lasting at least 10 hours on me, with great projection. This takes some of the sting out of the high price! I will definitely purchase a big bottle once I use up my decant.

Maybe it's "Vanille" but definitely not "Tobacco". It's a Christmas potpourri.
Maybe it smells differently on men?

this is the most cozy scent i have. its magical and performs! my batch is 4 years old

Tried this at sephora today and it was very disappointing, the tobacco note was very stank tbh and was not it, my mom tried it and she also didn't like, Overall I don't recommend getting it

Bought a new bottle of this after (almost) finishing my 2017 bottle, and something is wrong. This has been reformulated, and it now has a note that is the equivalent of having a stone in your shoe.... it's bad. I've tried clones that are superior to the newer batches.

Very disappointed. I tried a tester today of this as I first had a sample back in 2015 and loved it. It’s different now. More earthy and less leather and vanilla and nowhere near as strong. . Going to see if I can buy a vintage bottle.

This perfume is certainly an acquired taste. I thought I could smell liquorice at first but this may be star anise/anethole from the spice blend. There are definitely tobacco notes and a strong, sickly vanilla scent - like a freshly-opened box of cigarettes meets a vanilla Christmas candle. Not for casual wearing and much more of a night time fragrance.

When first sprayed, the tobacco is extremely strong, reminding me of the tobacco in an actual cigarette. However, it dries down quickly to become a spicy tobacco softened by the vanilla note. This combination makes it smell almost similar to cola. Over time, the scent of the spicy tobacco decreases while the sweet vanilla increases. Lasted an entire shift and more on my skin, but not too sure about the sillage. A great fragrance that would be my signature if not for the price point.

I like to describe this scent with a situation because most people are being mislead by YouTubers describing this as being a super smoky* and sexy unisex, super wearable winter tobacco scent, when there’s actually so much more going on. It has depth and can only be perceived through experience.
That’s real perfumery and mastery.
Now, when you get a sample and have your nose on it. Think of this specific situation and try to see if this situation as a smell would suit your taste and if you could actually spend 300$ on something you will either never wear, or make other people think of this while smelling it on you.

the situation : It’s Christmas, you just baked gingerbread cinnamon biscuits, there is sweet dried fruits (dates, raisins,figs) and your uncle is smoking one of his vintage cigares.
The window is slightly opened and brings a very cold wind with whiffs of all these scents mixed together.
(The tobacco is actually dry and cold, not smoky*same thing for the vanilla)

Now this perfume is a masterpiece, i have a full bottle, I don’t wear it but I admire it. That’s the only perfume I would be amazed to see someone pulling off.
It’s you that embodies it. You will either smell like the situation described above and that’s it, people will associate you with Christmas nausea. Or you will smell like this exact situation but it will appear extremely sexy and powerful, and manly.
This is something that 1% of people can wear as it should be worn and honored. It’s all about personality.

perfect fragrance its exactly tobacco and vanilla in a perfect blend

There is a group of people who use fragrances to make themselves happy, not to please others. And I am on of them. This is definitely a comforter for me on cold days. It lifts me up. Wonderful

Smells like an old man's arse

Right from the get-go it’s a very sweet vanilla mixed with cigarette smoke. The tobacco accord in tobacco vanilla is definitely not the classic “ cigar” accord, we all know, it’s definitely something else, and somewhat reminds me of nightclubbing by Celine which is one of the most realistic cigarette fragrances there is. In the dry down, it stops becoming a screechy cigarette note and instead becomes some thing that smells much more hay like, coupled with the vanilla this smell really good and very rounded. No doubt it’s a well blended fragrance. I’d give it an 8/10

this stuff is amazing the warm spicy and sweet tobacco opening is amazing then it is instantly followed by the touch of cocoa and vanilla which gives it even more depth, and finally the dried fruits dry down make this fragrance amazing for a night out, or a formal event.

scent: 10/10
longevity: 8/10 (i get around 7 hours)
sillage: 9/10 (amazing projection for the first 3 hours)
overall: 9/10

misunderstood instant sex appeal juice
a slutty blend of spices and tobacco

one of the best designer perfumes ever, but it's not for everyone
and is only wearable when its cold
9/10

it's surprising how popular this is because most of the super popular designer perfumes are conservative/synthetic
but this is the exact opposite
a lot of people underrate it because they gave/received it as a gift
But they don't realise its not an entry level designer perfume
its much more niche smelling than it appears


People who don’t like it generally are encountering a bit of a skill issue

I really loved this scent when I first smelled it in a magazine. I smelled it again in store and still loved it. The third time though and it was too sweet. I really want to love this scent, even like it, but the sweetness is kinda overwhelming the spicy tobacco. If there is a less sweet tobacco scent with the same deep notes I’ll try it, but for now I’m shaking my head at this perfume.

From a woman's perspective.. I just have to say... this particular scent really gets me everytime I smell it on a man (when it blends well with his skin chemistry).
I have to be honest, even a man that I'd not normally find particularly attractive, can suddenly have a certain appeal to me, as though the scent alludes this oxymoronic sense of subtle yet overpowering manliness that really speak to me on a primal level.
I can give a TMI - mundane example of this effect on me - of course, everybody's different and obviously not everyone will share my regard of this scent -... But just last week I lived through this dreaded late afternoon meeting at work, you know: everybody's focused on the project at hand, competing in pretentious remarks (or hiding that they're zoning out) .. Then (finally) we had a coffee break and while I waited for my espresso at the machine, my male colleauge, whom I've never really engaged with, leaned over to get an extra sugar and asked me something.. and there it was.. the scent. The scent that made me somewhat see him in a different light, I saw his lips moving as he talked to me, I nodded politely but I didn't really listen, suddenly I noticed little things about him I've never thought of before.., his smile looked somewhat different, I even wondered if he has a hairy chest (which I have an affinity for) - and you know these thoughts are impractical and unprofessional - especially for women that have to appear as serious as possible in a corporate setting; so you pretend you're not thinking them. But I was. And the rest of the meeting was sweet escapism in my mind - my turn to zone out. ..
So now that the political correctness is well put aside: I really wish more men dared to project their masculinity through scents such as Tom Ford's TV.

This one grew one me, definitely a fragrance you gotta test out.

I bought a ‘fake’ or a ‘dupe’ one in Turkey. I know how the original smells. Oh how I wish I had buyed more of the ‘fake’ one. It’s so good a duper potent. There is no alcohol smell, it’s warm, I can smell the vanilla and tobbaco, it’s spicy and the longevity is super good as well! I find it kind off addictive. Everytime I want to smell more. Normally I am very cautious with buying ‘fakes’. But maybe because the notes are quite simple (the name says it all) it might be a little easier to make it or so. I totally love my ‘fake’ bottle!

Quintessential fragrance for any enthusiast, male or female. The definition of pure class in fragrance form. Masterfully blended with wonderful longevity and projection. Not into gourmand-scents but this is very tastefully crafted, without any syrupy or cloying quality.
Recommend a 30mL bottle for special occasions. Will be a companion for life.

Opens up with some sweet and spicy notes, and then drys down to something sweet, with both spicy notes and some tobacco.

The perfomance is great. I use max 2 sprays, and that is enough to fill up rooms and last through the whole day.

This is such a great fragrance even if it is so overpriced. The vanilla comes through well and isn't overly spicy.

smells like an old guy

Love this. For me this perfume has very feminine notes although I'm aware that's an unpopular opinion. The longevity is amazing.

1x of the best tobacco, and vanilla fragrances
with excellent performance

TV: guilty gourmand pleasure!
This fragrance is very sweet, very loud, very spicy and has a magnetic, fabulous dry down.
The tobacco opening is very synthetic but yummy nonetheless: cloves and cinnamon galore, Christmas gingerbread and pipe tobacco all the way. Afterwards, the tobacco takes a back seat and it is all about vanillin, raisins and mulled wine spices with an hint of cocoa.
TV is not elegant, but makes a loud statement on one's self confidence and approach to life: in fact, not everything worth appreciation in life must also be elegant.
FB worthy!

This cologne was made for me. Amazing

I tried every Tom Ford but trust me this is the best one. The best Tom Ford ever created. Extremely well blended. You smell the tobacco, you smell the vanilla, you smell the cloves. It is a masterpiece for craftsmanship wise.

I adore Tobacco Vanille! Smells like root beer tastes. Long lasting, great projection. One spray is plenty for a cozy, spicy/sweet, sweater fragrance that I still smell at after hours. TF fragrances are rightfully criticized for being overpriced for what you get, but Tobacco Vanille sets the standard for this type of fragrance.

Tobacco and vanilla smacked me in the face right away. The tobacco was so strong. I’m old enough to remember when malls had pipe tobacco shops. They are a particular scent. Pipe tobacco is a lovely smell. In TV the tobacco note is too strong and that makes it smell synthetic. Overall this is a cozy nice scent. But pipe tobacco doesn’t smell like that. As it dries down TV reminds me of rice pudding with raisins. The creamy vanilla cinnamon clove dried fruit scent. Also it seems like there was a bit of leather in the middle. This is a nice fragrance with decent lasting power and sillage. But kind of boring. For $300+ or whatever this fragrance is, it’s just not that interesting.
UPDATE: This Frag has grown on me. I still refuse to pay Tom Ford’s prices but I may consider getting the Dossier dupe. I’ve found those to be accurate and good quality.

Emre06 - Why don't you just wear airplane gas, I'm sure you will be smelled across the globe lol. 20 fucking sprays of vintage Tobacco Vanille and its poor performing ? WTH is wrong with you ye freak lol. I've got 2021 batch and if i spray more than 3 times i feel obnoxious, suffocating people around me...

Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille is an exquisite fragrance that transcends mere scent to become an immersive sensory experience, a journey through the depths of indulgence and luxury. From its opulent presentation to its intoxicating aroma, every facet of Tobacco Vanille speaks to the discerning connoisseur who appreciates the finer things in life.

Let's begin with the presentation, as even before the bottle is uncapped, one is immediately struck by the sheer elegance and sophistication of the packaging. Housed within a sleek and minimalist flacon, the deep amber hue of the glass hints at the rich and complex fragrance that lies within, while the golden accents add a touch of decadence and opulence. The Tom Ford logo, embossed in bold lettering on the front of the bottle, serves as a testament to the brand's unwavering commitment to quality and craftsmanship.

Upon first application, Tobacco Vanille envelops the senses in a warm and intoxicating embrace, like a cashmere blanket on a crisp winter's night. The opening notes of tobacco leaf and spicy ginger dance playfully atop a bed of creamy vanilla, creating a juxtaposition of sweet and savory that is as unexpected as it is captivating. As the fragrance develops, the heart notes of cocoa and tonka bean emerge, adding depth and complexity to the composition. Here, the scent takes on a sensual and indulgent quality, evoking images of cozy firesides and intimate encounters.

But it is in the base notes where Tobacco Vanille truly shines, as the rich and smoky aroma of dried fruit and woody accords linger on the skin like a whispered promise. Here, the fragrance reveals its true depth and complexity, unfolding like the pages of a forbidden love story, each note building upon the last to create a symphony of scent that is both hauntingly beautiful and utterly irresistible.

As the hours pass, Tobacco Vanille continues to evolve on the skin, revealing new facets and nuances with each passing moment. What begins as a bold and intoxicating aroma gradually mellows into a warm and enveloping embrace, leaving a trail of intrigue and fascination in its wake. It is a fragrance that defies categorization, transcending the boundaries of time and space to become a timeless masterpiece that leaves an indelible impression on all who encounter it.

In conclusion, Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille is more than just a fragrance; it is a work of art, a testament to the power of scent to evoke emotion, stir the soul, and transport the wearer to distant realms of possibility. Bold yet refined, seductive yet sophisticated, Tobacco Vanille is a fragrance for those who dare to dream, who embrace their desires, and who refuse to settle for anything less than the extraordinary.

I tried a sample of this recently. It's strong. Longevity, silage 10/10. Other than that, yes, very nice smell but too spicy for my taste. It kind of makes me think that it belongs to the spice pantry in the kitchen than on my skin. I d love it on a cake, a christmas cake to be more precise but not sure how I feel wearing it. It's definitely appetizing. I ll give it some time and re-approach.

Amazing powerful winter scent with insane longevity. The quality is unmatched however it is quite sweet. So if you like sweet fragrances be sure to check this one out.

If you are complaining about lack of longevity, you 100% have a fake bottle. I have sprayed this on my wrist at night, showered the next morning and I was still able to smell this. This fragrance is absolutely amazing, if you enjoy frags like red tobacco, by the fireplace and jazz club you will most likely enjoy this. Wonderful blend of tobacco and vanilla that come together to create a fragrance that almost smells like cloves. I love this smell especially because it reminds me of drinking a hot chai latte in the winter thats topped with whip cream and cloves :)

What to me is a perfect smell, although ruined completely by a lack of Longevity or Sillage, would not recommend unless you are looking to burn money. 6/10

Absolute perfection!. I will buy bottle after bottle until its in production and use only when needed. This was the first perfume I bought and I was absolutely blown away, it lasts a long time, smells amazing for a while. If there are doubts, buy it, or by a smaller version. It amazing, warm and comforting. Just try it!!! This is my favourite by far!!!

Finally i stumbled upon it when i was out shopping with a friend. I was so excited to try it. It contains everything i love so i should like it! I prefer to smell like either, as other like to call it, a grandma or a damp church. I love classic fragrances, i love a high dose of tobacco, i love a waxy, sticky vanilla when done right and i love deep, boozy things. As soon as i tried it i realised this smells exactly the same as every other dupe i had tried before actually smelling the real thing. It smelled just like every dupe i deemed too dense, too arteficial. I was sure the real thing would be different. Allas, i do not want to offend anyone, i know this fragrance is loved by most. To me it just smells like a cheap stomach turning christmas candle.

I still have one 20ml bottle left that I don't use and I'm not thinking about buying it again.
The smell is quite familiar and many other brands imitate it, although in terms of quality, no one can imitate Tom Ford 100%.

finally got around to buying a sample after smelling in store. love it in store, love it on my skin!! the tabacco calms down and the vanilla really shines! it last long, tho it's currently summer so it was a little strong. It give strong woman who wear tailored suits to expensive restaurants. if it wasn't my entire week's paycheck (and went out more often) I would get this in a heartbeat

My GF bought me this for Valentine’s Day, because i smelled it during Christmas and fell in Love. The only thing is, it is not a versatile fragrance. It really is intoxicating during the holiday season. I live in Hawaii and it doesn’t get super cold here, so the scent is overwhelming and headache inducing.
If you can get a decant, like 10 ml that would last you for the holiday season. Not worth a full bottle.

Tobacco Vanille is a masterpiece. The opening hits you with a harsh opening of spice, probably consisting with the likes of cinnamon and cloves. Over time, the fragrance sets into this deep sexy vanilla with a cocoa undertone that reminds me of hot chocolate. The tobacco in this is phenomenal; while this dark, rich vanilla is to die for. The spices in this are very comforting, and yes; I do get a very Christmas-y vibe. It is very sweet and pleasant, making it versatile and well-rounded.

With its sweet and spicy nuances, it would excel in the fall and winter. It would make a great sexy date night fragrance, due to its smooth and luxurious nature. This is completely unisex, although some would say it leans more on the masculine side.

Would I buy a bottle of this? Yes. Is it the best fragrance I have ever smelt? Honestly, it's up there. I might just have to pick up a bottle in the near future. Yes, it's overpriced; but this blend is too immaculate to ignore.

Tobacco and vanilla. Both are my favorite. What more can I say except it's going to be in my favorite frags list ever. The vanilla is just so damn good combined with the tobacco that makes it not so sweet and a bit darker. For beginner tobacco frags, this is one of the easiest and the best. Safe for blind buy, but it's price will say otherwise

tbh i was very underwhelmed by this fragrance for the price it smells very boring kinda smells xmas tea it was very overhyped in MY opinion

Man, when people say Phaedon Tabac Rouge smells like Tobacco Vanille and can replace it, that's one of the rare non-exaggerations here in Fragrantica. Their openings are noticeably different, but they smell more like batch variations than fragrances released by different companies.

i have to continuously resist the urge to lick myself. this scent is just delicious!!!!

After testing this one in stores a couple times I knew I'd love it. Now that I have it, I do love it. BUT I thought it was a cold weather fragrance. That's only half true. It's really a holiday scent. It's cold today in Chicago and I feel like I smell like a Christmas candle. That's not a bad thing, it's just not as versatile as I thought. I'll probably put it back on the shelf until next December. I don't regret the purchase at all, but it's micro-seasonal for sure.

this perfume is my worst blind buy ever its only smells like incense with clove i swear the god do not buy this fragrance if u are not 40 year old man

People don't seem to like the top notes but what is tobacco vanilla without tobacco duh. But it blends very good definitely still try it out before you purchase it.

Smell 9/10
Longevity 10/10
Projection 2-3 feet.

really good fragrance for winter. ofc its overpriced but still good, everyone who i asked loves this fragrance. really good combination of vanilla, tobacco and cacao. 10/10

Fantastic vanilla tobacco scent. Lasts a very long time and projects a ton. It is a little vanilla heavy, but the tobacco does come through. I wish it were slightly less sweet.

The name is totally descriptive, you mainly get tobacco and vanilla and it has amazing longevity as well (I got some on my jacket sleeve almost a week ago and I can still get a good whiff). The chocolate and spice notes keep it from being too flat. Definitely one of Tom Ford’s standouts and classic in its clean delivery, no dirty melange.

Although I really like it the sweetness is a bit heavy for me and I feel like there are similar fragrances for less money. Tempted though

oh man this one broke my heart. my first blind buy and boy did i learn my lesson. tobacco + vanilla is one of my all time favorite scent combos... I have an embarassing number of tobacco vanilla candles around my apartment, so I assumed this would be a safe buy. i really tried with this one, i did. i endured several headaches, hoping i'd get used to it, and all it smelled like on me was stale bowling alley cigar; a leering grandpa drunk on syrupy fireball. SO SAD. i don't want to be a hater! i wanted to love you, tobacco vanille! i ended up giving it away to a friend and i believe it ended up in the hands of a nice butch who surely is pulling babes with this left and right. so i guess it all worked out! but the quest for a tobacco/vanilla combo that works on my skin continues...

My first TF fragrance buy, many many years ago now and I loved it. Had 3 bottles of it over the years. The clones of it now are so good, and more like the older formulations that the genuine article is now redundant though I feel. Get it by all means if you want the bottle sitting proudly on your shelf, but if you just enjoy the scent, there's a few options that nail it in the 'reminds me of' section as well as a few that aren't there. The FW version is a monstrous performer, and definitely smells more like the earlier, and in my opinion much better iterations of TV. For me the newest batches lean far too much into the vanilla side, and the spice isn't as prominent as it once was.

Tobacco Vanille by Tom Ford – now that's a fragrance that doesn't mess around. I've had this gem in my collection for a while, and let me tell you, it's a powerhouse that commands attention.

From the get-go, it's a bold symphony of tobacco and spicy notes, making a statement that's impossible to ignore. When I decide to rock this scent, it's like declaring, "I've arrived, and I mean business."

As the day unfolds, it stays true to its roots – the tobacco and vanilla combo takes center stage, with a boozy edge that adds a touch of swagger. It's a ride that doesn't lose its grip, keeping that unmistakable tobacco note front and center, refusing to fade into the background.

In my collection of oriental fragrances with a tobacco twist, Tobacco Vanille reigns supreme. Kilian Back to Black and Habanita can step aside; this one is in a league of its own. And while 69 is might be a distant cousin, they're not cut from the same cloth – although, I do enjoy layering them for an extra kick.

This fragrance isn't for the faint-hearted; it's for those who want to make an impact. It's manly, direct, and doesn't apologize for its boldness. When I wear Tobacco Vanille, I'm not just wearing a scent; I'm wearing a signature, leaving an unmistakable trail of sophistication and confidence.

The only ''real'' parfum fragrance from the Tom Ford private blend collection, sadly it had to be tobacco vanille very disappointing once you expiernce it first hand, 2 all you need for the whole day. Wish oud wood didn't get reformulated would've swept this fragrance 4-0!

its i nice fragrance who smells like honey in my opinion but overall a nice fragrance

Chocolaty tobacco with sweet vanilla ( vanilla mixed with dried fruits) Lasts 18 hours, It smells soooo good masterpiece

I used to own Tobacco Vanille, I loved it so much that I even made it my signature, but what made me fall for it was that strong, unexpected, really green tea note that cut through everything else like a sharp knife.
So odd no one ever mentiones it. Chai tea, yes, but to me it's green tea only.

Now I own a clone, Moss by Mysu, not in database, which I chose exactly for that delicious, astringent, bitter green tea note.

Exactly as it says on the tin. Opens gingerbready along with tobacco and vanilla. As it drys down the tobacco leaf comes charging to the fore. On my skin and to my nose a strong dry tobacco leaf smoothed by vanilla. Tobacco Vanille. As advertised.

I like it. The tobacco note could get tiresome, but I'm enjoying it right now. Not the mindblowing masterpiece that reviewers rave about, but a masterpiece nonetheless.

It's what it says on the tin. Dry, spicy tobacco and sweet vanilla, with hefty dose of cinnamon and a powdery touch that reminds me of Play-Do. It's good, but doesn't impress me much as I've smelled quite a few tobacco fragrances that I enjoy more than this. Overall, I don't think it's worth the money when there's a lot better tobacco fragrances out there.

"You're so beautiful, but oh so boring"
(Simply Red, 1995)

This is a perfect blend of tobacco and vanilla. Straight to the point, no funny business. This is definitely a staple for anyone who enjoys this combination. The price can definitely be daunting. If you love it though, it's worth it! A little goes a long way.

Tobacco and Vanilla.. nothing more needs to be said. Amazing blend. I love this

9/10

Spiced room candle anyone?!!!

Straight tabacoo and vanilla. Wayyyyyyy to powdery.

Tried this out after buying Tobacco Honey by Guerlain because people said they smell similar... I'm here to tell you no. Not at all. Tobacco Vanille is very heavy on the spicy tobacco and not nearly as sweet or balanced out. Hard to find an occasion to wear this to because it's not a very inviting smell. Too overpowering with the spices and no deep notes to anchor the tobacco scent. I much prefer Tobacco Honey because the tobacco is blended in way more smoothly and it has depth and richness with the honey, oud, and anise. The Tom Ford was a let down because I always hear raves about it.. even the sales associate said they didn't care for it.

I just unboxed TF Tobacco Vanille and I honestly don’t like it 😢 on me or for me. I am very feminine but this fragrance remind me of Amouage Material mixed with Amouage crimson rocks the hotness of it I mean it’s not bad but it’s just not feminine it’s unisex but leaning more masculine kind of like Kilian Angel’s Share. The only thing I get on my skin with TF Tobacco Vanille is sweet cinnamon & sweet honey and spices & hot? do yall remember that old school candy Red Hots? Well that’s what I am smelling on my skin it unlocked a childhood memory of eating red hots but that’s all I can smell is notes that’s not included on this website. I can smell things the average person can’t pickup but I can say this fragrance is for sure nostalgic it will take you down memory lane. this fragrance isn’t a everyday scent this frag is for the older crowd 35+ who dresses up. I mean you can pull this off with the right wardrobe you can’t be no basic person wearing this. This fragrance is for the ones who got their house in order or on their way up in life this is a money move fragrance you are making big moves with fragrance you are a boss calling all the shots with a suit or a blazer on or a pin skirt dressed up not dressed down hair done & nails or hair freshly cut well groomed you are for sure going places wearing this fragrance! This fragrance will wear you if your not dressed appropriately it’s very sexy at the same time yeah you have to be seasoned to rock this one lol one day I will be that woman but not today

A great perfume but is a little overpowering and not versatile enough to wear on a regular basis.

After spraying this, I watched as the tobacco climbed its way out of the atomiser before punching me across the face. The tobacco note is VERY apprehensive and loud; the vanilla and spices are nice, but the overwhelming scent of a cheap cigar is just too much for me.

7.3/10

one of the worst things i have sampled. even with only a $7 decant i feel cheated. the vanilla is fine but the rest is so harsh, like menthol jammed up into your nostrils. couldn't wait to wash it off.

Opening is a chocolate-cacao BOMB. Was pleasantly surprised, even though I usually do not like chocolate notes (Xerjoff Symphonium for example). Could be used as a signature scent in the winter, which is what I'm considering. Packaging is beautiful, as expected from Tom Ford. Overall a very good fragrance in my opinion, but the price is a little high.

A young lady said that I smelled good and asked what I was wearing. I told her Kayali Lovefest Burning Cherry and Tobacco Vanille. Compliment getter! She pointed out that the tobacco wasnt very masculine on me. I agree bc I dont want to smell masculine.

Literally warm and spicy without any of the gourmand. This comes out as straight smoky cinnamon on me and it really isn’t nice with my chemistry — it almost smells electric which I’d prefer if it were more aldehydic. Instead it comes out like an electric lighter that’s been handed to you warm from someone’s pocket and was used to light one too many cheap cigarettes. Really disappointing as I adore smoky vanilla scents the most.

Very unique scent for me, and not usually a fragrance profile i would opt for..to me anything "tobacco"sounds very dirty and unappealing. This fragrance is opposite of that. Tom Ford has won my heart again. I have found all of their fragrances to be complex enough to be original, unique, and very much like peeling layers of an onion. My nose is hella synesthetic and bougie too, so the density and body makes it really appealing. Reading the reviews, I'm dumfounded that ppl arent seeing the complexity. Immediately upon applying (via dabbing on sample, not spraying) BOOM. Chocolate. The Cacao makes a grand entrance immediately followed by the tobacco. The culmination of the 2 create what to me, evokes a chocolate puerh tea, with perhaps a faint hint of chai(specifically ginger&cinnamon) in the spicy notes. Both teas being my favorites, which may be why i like it so much. When I think of tobacco, I think of it being smoked and burnt. but *this* is fresh perfectly cured and aged tobacco, no smoke in sight. Just it's robust and lively, full bodied, warm, oily scent. I won't shut up about it smelling like its in tea form though. Puerh specifically because of its fermentation creating a bold, herbaceous and zesty flavor along with its chocolate notes. There may even be a slight salted caramel note hidden perfectly. With those notes, then comes the tobacco flower, tonka, and vanilla lactonic pieces of the puzzle. I am lucky enough to experience the highly fragrant white flower scent of night-blooming tobacco flowers in my garden. I can't begin to tell how lovely it is to be able to pick up that note here, as i look forward all year for summer so i can see them bloom in the moonlight and smell them from a decent distance, almost like a softer and more airy jasmine. Here, this flower lifts up the earthy, herby and rich chocolatiness, and adds a fresh vibrance to make it smell sophisticated and clean. Every full bodied breakfast tea with these qualities, wouldn't be complete without a splash of half & half(lactones), and for some extra decadence as a dessert tea, adding a dollop of fresh vanilla bean whipped cream(tonka/vanilla) to add some richness and cholesterol, to make it luxurious and decadent. As for the dried fruit note, I've smelled it before. Golden currants and dates become incredibly sugary after drying, and one or both of those is what i smell specifically as the base notes approach. I also have a black loose leaf tea blend that contains dried golden currants, and it reminiscent of it. As it settles, you can smell a lightly spiced resinous wood, perhaps cashmeran or sandalwood. With drying down for a bit, things very slightly powderize, and the most evident notes are the vanilla and tobacco. Apptly named. Major bohemian and gourmond vibes, but make it sophisticated. Now I swear i'm gonna go make a tea blend that will smell really similar to this! Highly recommend the Oakcha version of this as well! I like it just the same, but perhaps even more!

Exactly as it says on the tin. This is Tobacco and vanilla on a nuclear scale. There’s not a great deal else going on. It’s a bit too linear for me, there are no surprises. It’s very sweet and can become a bit of nuisance when over sprayed. Four sprays on a cold night out and I can literally taste the stuff all evening. I’m yet to come across anybody who pulls it off properly tbh. My wife wears it now and again and it definitely wears better on her than me. We have had a bottle for around 5 years, and it’s probably still 80% - 90% full. There’s just not much need for it! A friend of mine purchased a dupe after smelling the real thing on me. He over sprays it ridiculously, which has probably helped put me off, but it smells so similar to the real thing that I would urge anybody who loves this scent profile to shop around before paying TF extortionate prices. In my humble opinion TF noir extreme is more subtle, more complexed and way more reasonably priced. Also Noir pour femme pissed all over this at a fraction of the price too. Bring that back!!

linear, but in my top 2 fragrances ever. wish I could afford to wear this on a regular basis. smooth and highly addictive scent

Tobacco Vanille is what the album “All My Demons Greeting Me as a Friend” by Aurora is. This scent is dark and mysterious but yet familiar and comforting. Sweet like Aurora’s voice is the vanilla, the ominous feel and alienated feeling of the music imitates the dark and mystical world of Tobacco Vanille. It smells like it’s about to rain, you take cover as you run and step on moist tobacco leaves, all around you is a forest with beautiful tall spruce thick trees. The leaves are a perfect green. It starts to feel fresh and the winds is catching up. Into the woods, the sun dims and creates a blue hue that makes the leaves appear greener than they really are. You feel you shouldn’t be walking further but outside of the forest is a futuristic world. It’s getting darker and the safest place is near a tree. You lay and look up, see the leaves swaying and the noises of the leaves and birds chirping. It feels like home.

This masterpiece right here introduced me to the real perfume world this was my gate to a whole new world to smell every single note and accords i like it so much ❤️

Alright so, alot to unpack here. First of all…wow this scent is amazing. My girlfriend just bought me 100ml for valentine’s and god I’ve been sleeping on this scent for so long(Much like with Noir Extreme which I find similar to this). It opens with an amazing dry tobacco backed by very realistic thick warm spices. It’s dry and almost salty in the opening. After 5 minutes you slowly seep into the mids with a very sweet warm and creamy vanilla and cinnamon still backed backed by that tobacco from the opening with the Tonka bean and cacao almost creating a nutty like sweetness and creaminess. The dry down is quite woody with a touch of dried fruits giving the whole middle and dry down almost a tea like characteristic. To me this is the perfect winter scent it’s classy sweet and absolutely beautiful. As for longevity I was confused at fragrantica saying it’s long lasting, “this only lasts an hour on my skin what a scam!” was what I thought until my mother walked in the room and saying she could barely breath because of how much it was filling up the room as she opened the window to air it out. Come to find out I have just gone extremely nose blind to the scent. So if you think you can’t smell it on your wrist TRUST me others can definitely can you’ve just gone nose blind(same thing happened to me with BR540 extrait de parfum). Is this top nieche quality and complexity? No. Is this the best Tom Ford private blend? Also no. What this is, is a beautiful creamy rich warm scent that will get you noticed. It’s still complex and different smelling (or atleast was until it got so damn popular and got cloned to death) As a die hard gourmand enjoyer(UMBRE by Adi Ale Van and Chocolate Greedy by Montale are my favourites)this is RIGHT up my alley! Long lasting, amazing quality, incredible blending and very rich with great projection. A genuine masterpiece in perfumery and deserves all the status it has acquired! 10/10

DO NOT BLIND BUY. It's really sweet and cloying. The tobacco in here is a dry tobacco.
I didn't like it at all, there are better Tom Fords out there.

Going to completely honest, this is my personal opinion as well. Overall this fragrance smells like a generic UK Christmas candle. The mixed spices (cinnamon and clove) mixed with the vanilla and dried fruit base note really gives it that Christmassy type of smell. Now don’t get me wrong, this fragrance is made to an amazing standard, being able to smell the specific notes on the dry down, with different notes coming at you from everywhere, it smells like a rich old man’s library in the winter. Similarly, the longevity and sillage is strong, I had it sprayed on my wrist and would occasionally get a whiff every now and then. Yet for me, the price doesn’t match the smell at all. For a generic supped up Christmas candle smell, something I feel I could get at any TK max or Asda. It just doesn’t hit the spot for me.
Glad I bought a 2ml tester of this and didn’t blind buy. Just goes to show, don’t blind buy!

Am I the only one who cannot smell any tobacco note? I pick up the cinnamon, clove, tonka and dry fruit notes and ofcourse vanilla too but no tobacco whatsoever.

Quality scent suitable for winter & fall. Performance is average.
I tried other Vanilla based scents that I liked more. Nishane Ane comes to my mind.

If you wait about a minute or so after the spritz, what predominates is an intoxicating honey note, warmed with ginger and spices. It smells exactly like the chai they used to have at the cafe in the Lincoln Center theatre before they changed vendors (and possibly they still have it at the other location but I don't know). I used to get this chai before or after watching some of the craziest films of my life. It wasn't a particularly authentic chai but the strong honey and soft ginger notes were addictive. Syrupy in flavor but not texture. I used to dream about that taste. When I found out the cafe wasn't there anymore I nearly wept going into see Renoir's The Woman on the Beach. I'm glad it is preserved in this bottle. For me the tobacco fluttered away very quickly, only remaining to warm and sweeten the vanilla, which was present but overshadowed by that dominant spiced honey accord.

First Impressions (Impression Roller Ball, and Sprayed In Store):
DISCLAIMER: I bought the impression of Tobacco Vanille on amazon before trying out the real Tom Ford perfume.
This does smell like Christmas day to me. To me, this perfume smells too much like Christmas, and so I only feel it's only good for one day out of the 365 days. It's also a little bit too masculine for me. My suggestion is noire pour femme since it's more gourmand, and interesting.
Edit (01/06/2024):
I've tried this perfume in stores, and let me tell you it smells the exact same at the rollerball definitely on my skin. There are so many dupes for this perfume, that I think it no longer justifies the price of getting a full bottle.
I will also say that I have a dupe for this, and it actually smells WAY BETTER than this. It's lush's Tumeric Latte. Tumeric Latte also doesn't have the tobacco that Tobacco Vanille has that reacts to my skin badly.

Summary:
Smells like: A festive Christmas Vanilla that is unisex, but can be worn mostly any weather. I've grown to like this DNA as I matured and experimented with other scents.
Family of: Festive Vanillas (Lush Tumeric Latte)
Sillage: Medium-Strong

Verdict: Pass- I won't be buying any of Tom Fords perfumes due to them being:
1. Way to overpriced considering the longevity and the silage is known to be terrible..
2. After they come out they will eventually be duped.
3. This is very wintery, and I sadly live in a warm climate.

i find this scent amazing but its definitely more feminine then masculine, smells like a rich mature woman

Here it is, the fragrance that introduced me to the world of designer and niche fragrances. Throughout the early to mid 2010s, this was my signature scent. It never failed to garner compliments, and friends would race off to the nearby Tom Ford store to pick up a sample after sniffing this on my velvet blazer. It was, for a period in time, exceptional.

You already know what it smells like. Old money, libraries with equestrian plaid wallpaper that are dimly lit by fireplace, ashtrays overflowing with a heady mix of cigarettes and cigars, and a spilled glass of bourbon next to a used condom wrapper on a mahogany bar. If this scent were from a movie, it’d be Jacob Elordi chain-smoking inside his Saltburn mansion. But you’ve smelled this a million times before because, cut to the 2020s, and this fragrance is as played-out as a 1920s speakeasy. It’s become a caricature of itself – the equivalent of a Gucci or Louis Vuitton handbag; everyone already owns it or a knockoff of it.

Tom Ford has diluted his own fragrance line to the point of banality and redundancy – there’s now Tobacco Vanille, Tobacco Oud, Vanille Fatale and Vanilla Sex. Copycats like Maison Margiela’s Jazz Club, my own evolved sense of fragrance and, I suspect, reformulations have dulled this fragrance to an average and overplayed scent.

Tobacco Vanille will always be a classic. However, after spraying it on myself recently for ole times sake, it’s obvious that the scent has overstayed its welcome and there are better, more original scents to be discovered. Like last call at a cigar bar, it’s closing time on this fragrance – it doesn’t have to go home, but it can’t stay here.

In five words or less: You’ve smelled this before.

A very thick smell of tabac and vanilla but not very spicy or harsh.

Smelled this fragrance a few days ago. Instantly went home and bought it online. It's sweet and I just absolutely love the combination of Vanilla and Tobacco, you can never make a bad fragrance with those notes together.

8.5/10

I just love this one. So sweet and well done. It feels like you are smelling pipe tobacco. My wife doesn't love this one as much as I do or I would wear a lot more than I do. I have received complements on this one. I believe this is Tom Ford's best scent.

I hadn't smelled this in over a year when I recently took the plunge and bought it so it was a semi blind buy -- I couldn't remember what it smelled like, only that i liked it so much I had to restrain myself from shoving the tester bottle up my nose. Absolutely no regrets, my eyes genuinely rolled back in my head when i first sprayed it right out of the box. It's perfectly smoky and spicy and sweet to me, really anything I could want in a cold weather fragrance. I imagine it could smell great on a masculine leaning person, but on me it leans quite sweet. I think it conjurs up images of an enchanting palm reader draped in colourful scarves and surrounded by clouds of incense.

I’ve been exploring fragrances and this being so popular
, for me, does not live up to the hype. I think it’s dried fruit, I think maybe that’s the note that ruins this for me.

I love tobacco and vanilla, but the other note was a huge Turnoff.

This is a straight banger. This is for a masculine man, who likes his leather boots to match his leather jacket and belt. Fitted and tailored jeans, Burberry prescription sunglasses, Rolex Milgauss, Audi s4, has a beard, 6’1” and in great shape. Oh wait that’s me. Yes, this is the type of fragrance made for me. I enjoy the finer things in life, and this fragrance is one of them. It’s tobacco and vanilla with spices. It’s high end. It lasts all day and night and sticks to clothes until the next day. It garners many complements, although I will be not be buying another bottle because everyone wants to wear it and make dupes.

I wore with 2020 batch code version of Tobacco Vanille. Even if I love smell of vanilla and tobacco, I can't get greate sillage. Maybe it's due to shipping but not clone, 100 % sure it was original. How can I increase the sillage ?

After smelling this fragrance for one time from a test paper, It smells like a vanilla candle or a vanilla cupcake.

I really wanted to like this. I was hoping for more vanilla but I mostly got tobacco and spices. I definitely don't feel like this is a unisex fragrance. I would personally not wear it but I think I would like the scent on a man.

this thing is so spicy, but well-blended. idk why but i cant really grasp the vanilla note though. to me its so spicy to the point it became balsamic, idk if its just me. definitely for an old man tho

To me this fragrance is revolting I hate it. No part of me likes it does not grow on me. I do not like it. I did not grow on me. I know I tried the real thing and I know I don’t like it.

I understand how everybody likes TV, but i've never liked it. I get almost only a medicinal clovey sweet tobacco, with vanilla and dried fruits. I hate cloves, especially when it's overdone like here. The quality of the ingredients is good but to me there are many better sweet tobaccos.

6/10

Got a sample of this and have been wearing it for about a week. I think every time I wear it I like it a little more.

Pros) Actually smells like the notes described in it, and not just that generic "cologne" smell that so many men's fragrances have. I can actually smell the tobacco, vanilla, and the wood and dried fruit notes. Sits well on the skin, and I don't ever feel overwhelmed by it, even if I'm heavy handed in my application. Feels very much like something to be worn to a Renaissance faire. A handsome and charismatic innkeeper would smell like this in a fantasy novel.

Cons) While I can smell the individual notes, the combination of them occasionally hits me as smelling like root beer. I wasn't sure if this was just me at first, but I had two friends smell it and they agreed it had a root beer-ishness to it. I like root beer, but it does detract from the sophistication this scent has otherwise.

Overall, I like it quite a lot. Its delivering a vibe that I haven't been able to really find (looking for a masculine vanilla that doesn't suck), and I do plan on getting a larger size. 7.5/10

this is a nice fragrance, the combination of vanilla and tobacco smell is very pleasing. However some people might not like this fragrance. I would not recommend this fragrance for teenagers or anyone under the age of 18

oof, maybe the sampler i tested went bad? really sad because i had high hopes for this, but the tobacco note came off STRONG. i got close to no vanilla — just tobacco and spices. smelled like old man and cigarettes. definitely going to test it again when i get the chance because i got none of the sophistication or spicy chai latte scent at ALL — and neither did my sister :(

Classic scent but absolutely beautiful fragrance none the less. Smells like the concept of being a millionare. It feels like the tobacco and the sweetness have a competition of whos the most strong, with the tobacco still coming out on top. Id say its unisex even tho it leans a bit more manly, 10/10 would strongly recommend

The #1 Christmas stunner

My absolute favourite fragrance for cold weather. Love every second of it.

As a 14 yo i love this fragrance,my sisters boyfreind gave it to me as a Christmas gift since i smelled it off him one time and i fell in love with it.On my skin it feels ovely sweet in the middle but its a very lovley fragrance the vanilla and tabbaco is very well put togheter and it dosent smell synthetic.I reccomend this fragrance for events or dates(your date might be wearing it too tho LOL).DO NOT BLIND BUY.

I never smelled older formulations, but this is a cinnamon bomb on my skin. I was expecting Sugar Leather by Un Nuit Nomad to be like that, but it’s not. I agree with everyone saying it’s a Christmas scent. That’s the perfect description.

I am not sure how I feel about this fragrance. It’s my 5th TF, but my least favorite as of now. I’ll have to give it some more wear time. This is 100% a cold weather fragrance. I think it would choke me and give me a headache in warm weather.

im not saying that i want to smell like this for the rest of my life, but i probably want to smell like this for the rest of my life

Love at first whiff. Yes it's overpriced but you get what you pay for. Amber oud tobacco edition is close, but there's something just a bit off with it. Every time I wear this, someone tells me how much they like it. Men and women of all ages. One of the few frags I completely understand the hype train for. One odd anecdote - I have a 2018 and 2021 bottle. The one from 2018 is truly amazing, which isn't to trivialize the 2021 bottle. But the older one has a true chocolate gourmand accord which the newer one does not. The newer one is a far more linear vanilla and tobacco straight through, more similar to the clone house imitations. Monster performance - get this on your jacket or hoodie and it'll be there until you wash it out!

While wearing this I've been told I smell fresh and clean which is surprising given the notes. It's sweet and a very low-nose smokiness. I adore wearing this because it's so unisex in such a cozy way.

Most of the reviews I've read about TV lately mention the dominant cinnamon note.
The bottle I have is from 2013 and the cinnamon blows as a tiny breeze and disappears. The dominant Tobacco, red fruits and that perfect vanilla offer a unique experience. I don't need to say anything about its performance.
It's a real shame that it fell victim to reformulation.

Ah, For me, Private Blend is losing its mystery and charm day by day.
I remember when it was first presented. Are all the fragrances in a collection beautiful? Yes, they are. It was such a wonderful line.. 🤦♂️

I purchased a full bottle! Christmassy Cinnamon long lasting goodness. Not jaw dropping, but great!

As somebody who has an unhealthy obsession with teas, this fragrance is the epitome of a spicy chai latte. I would recommend wearing this fragrance in the colder months and maybe even layering it with a sweeter vanilla scent to really evoke the warm winter drink aesthetic. I really can't get enough of this scent!

I can mostly smell the spices (mostly cinnamon) and vanilla in this, it makes it very christmassy. Very sweet and pleasant and festive scent, I don’t really smell the tobacco. It’s a wearable and well-rounded gourmand but still I was expecting something more mindblowing with all the hype around this perfume. Don’t get me wrong, I can’t find any faults in the scent but it’s just a… good spicy vanilla, that’s it.
Also this is completely unisex in my opinion, not masculine at all

Later edit: oh noo, i’m liking this more and more as times goes on! Guess now I know why it’s so popular, it puts a spell on you somehow😅 oh well, there goes my money…

At first spray, this perfume is very very herbal and smoky with the vanilla only really coming in about 5 minutes after the first spray. It actually remind me a lot of the smell of the Jagermeister liquor. The herbal scent is too strong and detracts from any of the scents that are more to my scent profile.

After this, as it dries down, it slowly becomes sweeter and sweeter and the vanilla becomes more pronounced with the spicy/herbal scent slowly fading to background.

However, the vanilla scent is, to me, very synthetic and has a similar quality to Bianco Latte, which to me smells like sweet baby vomit. It’s not as offensive as BL, but it’s definitely a note in there that takes away from the perfume.

Overall this is a very herbal heavy scent and leans a little too masculine for me. Will not be buying a full bottle.

I usually hate smoky scents but this one is an exception. It's nicely balanced, the opening is a bit too spicy and harsh but it dries down to warm and luscious vanilla and cacao. This is a provoking and bold fragrance with powerful sillage and presence, it's not for everyday wear, not for the office for sure.

Tobacco Vanilla by Tom Ford is a subtly masculine unisex fragrance, ideal for ages 30 and up. While it may be a bit heavy for regular wear, it's perfect for special occasions. The raw tobacco, vanilla, cacao, and spice blend creates a warm, sophisticated scent.

This is one of my personal best because its oriental and it smells expensive and appealing just as advertised. Compliments are for sure a thing from this one. There isnt much I can say about it other than it is actually so good not even on smell but on performance too. Does really remind me of the wonders of the oriental world. 9.2/10

I bought the 100ml of this last year and can honestly say I've been really disappointed in the scent itself. The performance is great and the top notes are gorgeous but for me, the middle and base notes of the scent are so much weaker than I experienced when testing in the shop - I really don't get any tobacco at all after the tobacco leaf top note fades, which is something that initially drew me to the fragrance in store. It is a lovely scent but its lack of complexity has already bored me, despite only using it on a handful of special occasions over the past 12 months. With weak tobacco notes, it ends up just smelling like pure vanilla/cinnamon and I have only gotten a handful of compliments with this fragrance over the past year with someone even telling me it just smells like vanilla extract and is nowhere near worth the price. I would really not recommend buying the 100ml version even if it seems like better value. For me, the fragrance is not versatile at all and it only good to wear for a few months of the year and it's also not a complement getter at all. For these reasons, I would suggest purchasing the 50ml if this is a fragrance that you really love, as this will be enough to last you for several years - one or two sprays will last you all day.

This perfume simply makes me nauseous! All I smell is cinnamon and clove which completely over powers the tobacco and vanilla. If you want to smell like Christmas in a bottle this would be it.

My 3 P's
- Performance 7/10
- Projection 7/10
- Price 3/10

It smells exactly like it’s named. Tobacco and vanilla. Nothing else complex comes through.

Extremely overrated. Smell is ok not the best but definitely not the worst. It smells like more of an extremely mature old lady who is somewhere in her 50’s or 60’s. More to the feminine side than the masculine. Maybe because I’m a younger guy and I prefer different scents. Maybe in a few decades I will think this is the best scent ever. But as of right now, I don’t like it but I don’t dislike it but I would definitely not wear it.

it's like normal vanilla if you already smoke

This is one of the most popular fragrances for a reason, it's so good. I've never smelled another fragrance quite like this one, other than the clones, which I'll talk about later. Obviously it has a very prominent tobacco and vanilla, but the real unique and defining characteristics of TV that differentiate itself for me are the notes of cacao, spices and dried fruits. I very clearly and distinctly pick up on these notes and accords, and they are unmistakable to me. The dried fruits are my favorite part of this fragrance and how they meld with the tobacco and vanilla. The dried fruits provide so much character, warmth, coziness and depth. It's an EDP but wears more like a parfum. It has eternal longevity with a moderate and classy projection. It produces a moderate sized scent bubble that produces a big sillage trail.

I'm comparing Tobacco Vanille on one hand and Maison Alhambra's Tobacco Touch on the other hand today, equal amounts of juice on both. Tobacco Touch and Toscano Leather are the closest matches I've compared thus far. In the air, TV and TT are 100% identical from opening to dry down. They are about 95% similar when smelled up close, nose to skin. They even have the same opening, mid, dry down and development. The 5% difference when smelling up close is difficult to describe because of how close the 2 are. If I had to describe the difference, I'd say TT's tobacco and dried fruits are ever so slightly stronger, and TV's a tad bit warmer. It's really shocking how close the 2 are. After about 3 hours into the far dry down, the 2 are nearly identical both in the air and smelling up close nose to skin. They are almost impossible to distinguish from each other side by side, and there's absolutely no chance I'd ever be able to tell which is which if I just blindly chose 1 of them for my scent of the day. The performance in both projection and longevity are better with TT.

Edit: I was wrong about TT having better longevity. After 14 hours, TV is a stronger skin scent than TT but both are still easily detectable.

nicely blended, long lasting, fairly linear. tom ford in general feel very giftable or dupeable, high quality and not very polarizing.

The vanilla and tobacco feels too synthetic for my taste. Overall enormous performance and a great masculine scent.

It was waaaaaay too masculine for me and I did not like the vanilla. I like vanilla scents though but there was just something about this I did not like. Even if a guy were to wear it, it just smells too much like a bonfire or ashtray vibe. I know the name has "tobacco" in it so I shouldn't be surprised but I was expecting it to be softer.

THE BLUE TOWN SCENT

I would venture to say that the Kingdom of Morocco is very beautiful. Chefchaouen may well be its most beautiful town, and is nicknamed the "Blue Pearl of Morocco". The clear sky of the Rif mountains reflected in the white and blue walls of the houses reminds me of the bright colours you can find in the villages of the southern Iberian Peninsula, namely in the Alentejo and Andalusia regions, and produce an enchanting landscape. Chefchaouen was founded in 1471 by Andalusian Muslims fleeing the Christian conquest of Granada, as well as by Jews escaping from the Spanish Inquisition. Perhaps this is why you can sense a certain atmosphere of southern Iberia, manifested in the urban architecture and the behaviour of the local people.
Life here always seems peaceful and quiet. Foreign visitors are not as besieged by shopkeepers as in other Moroccan markets. In Chefchaouen you can take a break from the bustle of the big Moroccan cities and take refuge from the merciless sun of the upper Maghreb. The Moroccan souks are always a sensory delight and Chefchaouen's is no exception.
On a visit to the Medina, I would recommend buying goat's cheese preserved in olive oil, which is simply delicious. I did so and added some Arabic bread from some local bakery and some olives... a divine delicacy that set up the next few hours that were spent in a café in the small Bab El-Sora square while smoking a good shisha tobacco laden with vanilla aroma.
I chose one cafe in particular for serving Turkish coffee, but also for its very colourful decor, for providing the indispensable shisha hookahs to its customers, and for accompanying the hot beverages with plates of candied dried fruits and fragrant nutlets. Suddenly I was submerged in Aladdinesque paraphernalia with smoky swirls of moist shisha tobacco sweetening the air. Resin burners and coloured lanterns painted the scene with flickering lights. The atmosphere, although very relaxed and bohemian, had something conspiratorial about it because all the patrons, wearing jellabas, were constantly looking at me, or more specifically, at my bare legs, uncovered by khaki shorts.
The delicious Turkish coffee did not inhibit being served also the indispensable ultra-sweet green tea, spiced with mint leaves and served in a silver teapot. But over this myriad of aromas was the smell of wet, vanilla-laden tobacco wafting from the shisha. I brought the plate of dried fruit closer to my nose to further complicate the rich olfactory buffet. Now I had no more doubts... The molasses smell of the tea along with the dried fruits, the resins smoke, and particularly, the moist vanilla tobacco swirls, evoked in me the unmistakable aroma of my precious "Tobacco Vanille (Eau de Parfum) | Tom Ford".
Overall, Tobacco Vanille is intoxicating but in a good way. It smells sweet with damp tobacco, comforting vanilla and warm spice notes that linger till they dry down, though weaker towards the end of the development. The fragrance seems to be somewhat linear only due to the strong and persistent opening notes. The aromatic tobacco note is reminiscent of a sweet pipe variety and is not at all dry. It presents a very rich smell with light caramel and malt facets. The warm and sweet tobacco note seems to be closed tight to the weighty vanilla note, as they appear to have been melded together. The additional opening and heart sweetness derive from different indistinct spices, but in the heart are noticeable faint notes of cocoa and tonka that start to shape the sweetness in another direction.
After a few hours, the tobacco flavouring becomes drier and features hints of sprouts, hay, wood and leather. We are no longer confronted with the initial note of rich and moist aromatic pipe tobacco. It gains a floral touch and evolves into a Virginia or English type of tobacco. Despite the lingering vanilla note, we might be able to perceive sweet base notes like dried fruits, nuts and tonka, as well as some woody accords.
I wore "Tobacco Vanille" for the first time on a Christmas Eve. I caught a glimpse of the Tom Ford flask and couldn't help but give myself more than a couple of spritzes. Almost immediately I thought of a spice-rich egg milk punch, or in other words, an "Eggnog". The smell isn't that similar, but both odours remind me of a Christmas dinner by the fireplace. It must be because of the vanilla and the spices. I'm pretty sure there's also nutmeg in the perfume spices bouquet. The tobacco combined with those two spices made me think of rye whiskey, so it did indeed covet eggnog and Christmas gathering in my imagination.
There is a reason for the popularity of this fragrance that goes far beyond the Tom Ford griffe signature. It's the special vanilla note, made with full vanilla bean, a real ripe vanilla spice, not a syrupy and synthetic vanillin that one might associate with the scents of a teenage prima ballerina. It is simply glorious!
Let's look at Tom Ford's oriental flagship in numbers:
___ ___ ___ ___ ___ ___
Scent Start: 9.5 (Strong aromatic moist tobacco married with dark vanilla and assorted spices).
Scent Finish: 9.0 (less pungent tobacco - now dry - and vanilla with faint tonka, resins and dried fruits).
- Longevity: 9.0 (9~10 hours with 3 sprays; I think the earlier batches had more performance).
- Sillage: 8.0 (up to 6 feet with 2.5 hours of projection).
- Versatility: 8.5 (Almost everywhere except by the sea, in the gym or any other hot indoors; it may be a little too weighty for office use; I consider it unisex but leaning a bit to the feminine side).
- Usability: 8.5 (Don't use it in the summer, nor hot spring days; It's a night fragrance for me).
- Compliments: 8.0 (It has great acceptability but its complex warm spices may have detractors among fresh scent lovers).
- Uniqueness: 8.5 (Despite its pioneer status and notoriety, it is still a rather unique perfume due to its intrinsic quality. Nevertheless, expensive similar scents like "Tabac Rouge / Turkish Blend" by Phaedon, "Tobacco" by Franck Boclet", average price inspired perfumes like "Amber Oud Tobacco Edition" by Al Haramain / الحرمين, and accomplished cheapies like "Warm Black" by Zara).
- Quality: 9.5 (high-quality ingredients).
- Presentation: 8.0 (the usual design of Tom Ford's private line).
- Price: 5.5 (300 euros for the 100 ml bottle; way too much).
___ ___ ___ ___ ___ ___
Average: 8.32/10.0
between 7 and 8 => above average;
between 8 and 9 => recommended;
greater than or equal to 9 => do not miss;

My opinion of this very attractive perfume:
My average rating suffers from the low price mark. The bottle bears the standard presentation of the Tom Ford private line and is a landmark among sweet spicy fragrances, making it desirable for collectors. It has excellent quality. It is versatile and easy to like. I own it and like to use it but I don't recommend it as a blind purchase because of its high price. There is a range of similar fragrances that offer a similar scent for a fraction of the price. You have to really love it to buy it... Well, that's how it happened to me!

The music: Michael Bublé - "Winter Wonderland"

I can see why so many people love this one. It's very sweet, like honey with a dash of cinnamon, like walking past a pipe tobacconists' shop but cleaner--no ashtray, no cigar note. Like many TF fragrances, it smells expensive. It IS expensive but it's so strong that a tiny drop goes absolutely nuclear on my skin, so I am considering the travel size. I don't think it's like any of the "...reminds me of" scents.

Tom Ford has created a masterpiece .
This is the one . Best perfume ever for men.
This really smells like MEN . I love the combination of tobacco, (fan of tobacco smell ) with the dried fruits and vanilla .
Very long lasting.
There is no dominant note here it’s the perfect mix ever . Love love love it.

This smells exactly like an unlit Al Capone brand cigarillo. I smoke those for leisure, but honestly I’m not sure I would like to smell like them all the time.

To me this leans more masculine despite being very sweet. Tobacco is definitely the strongest note, and it’s very earthy and realistic. Truly the best way to describe it is as an unlit maduro cigar, finely wrapped and waiting to be consumed. If you love cigar lounges you will love this one.

I like it, but it’s a bit much for every day and TV e price point is a little high. Classy men can definitely pull this off.

I very much dislike this, smells like a old man and a candle

Very masculine smell. Strong tobacco and spicy notes. Don’t spray too much.

Smooth, sweet, natural, high quality vanilla and tobacco leaf. Very pleasant and cozy. Syrupy thickness. Nice for a cold night out or by the fireplace. Bit too thick and sweet for my taste, but very nice for somebody who wants a high quality, cozy, syrupy, tobacco, vanilla scent.

Scent: 7 / Sillage: 8 / Longevity: 8.5

Absolutely a staple in my winter fragrance rotation. One of, if not the, best fragrances for colder weather. 10/10 would recommend.

To my nose it is a more masculine leaning unisex fragrance.Better suited for Men In their 30s and above but any women can easily wear it if they want to do some experiments with their style or bring some changes from their super sweet and floral fragrances. Tobaco in it is not smoky, I get raw tobacco leaves and mixed with vanilla cacao and spices it creates a very warm plesant scent. There is also a fizzy vanilla aspect in this scent which may remind some users of cola. According to my taste I don't see myself wearing it a lot, as it is little heavy and I wear it only on special occasions but I love it on my husband and he likes to wear it often. Very sophisticated fragrance, Great performer. More women should wear it.

Amazing scent. Perfect for December. It’s what I’ll only wear in the month as it smells exactly like Christmas.
Although I bought a bottle recently and I think it’s not as much of a beast as it used to be. Seems less potent

love at first smell.
exactly what it says on the bottle. tobacco, vanilla.
addictive, bold, expensive.

For all you who say the clones are better than this… All clones are like watching a vid in 240p and Tobaco Vanille is like watching the same vid in 4k. ;)

Not what it used to be unfortunately but still a beautiful fragrance

what all the hot daddies in every lana del rey song smell like

Great fragrance, harsh opening but the dry down is amazing. My new signature 100000%.

You definitely need to smell this before buying it. I know people who love it, but for me, it was a horrible experience.

It was a headache inducing spicy ashtray mess, best way I could describe it. But to each their own.

I'll never get away from the smell of a woman that loves me, indeed. My ex bathed in this shit and it still gives me whiplash every time I smell it in the tube. She would also go through a pack of cigarettes a day, and the smoke clung onto all her clothes. Intermingling with the caramel warmth of vanilla and tonka bean, TV wraps around me like a velvety, cloying first-love.

Bought 100ml, and absolutely no regrets. I HAVE to smell this everyday, its a genuine addiction. First smell is a sweet tobacco and vanilla extract, dry down is a nice, spicy floral vanilla smell with a tobacco undertone.

I wish people were right and this was a great blend of vanilla and tobacco. But the cloves and the sweet notes make this smell like a sweet ashtray. I don't get the hype with it. It smells decent if you're far away because all you can smell at distance is vanilla and everyone loves vanilla. If you get close, it's like putting your nose into an ashtray, and I blame the spices for that. I wish better spices were chosen. I’m a big fan of vanilla and tobacco and wish this was just that. Sadly, it’s not.

this is just perfection easy 10/10 fragrance well blended i get the spicy tobacco vanilla with the cocoa and the dried fruits after 3 hours i got noise blinded but still getting compliments like (you smell like cupcakes) or u smell like vanilla cake
project beastly yet the longevity is ok i get about 6-7 hours

wow, this now smells like walmart brand soda tastes. what happened?!

Masterpiece. I will wear this perfume to my wedding. The only perfume that is truly androgynous and unisex. The only thing that could make this better is a better atomizer.

smells like coca cola

Oh, Tobacco Vanille... This has been my signature for three years now. No matter what I do I always come back to it! Spicy, warm, gorgeous, I will always love this perfume and the memories I have with it.

The ultimate Yankee Candle®️ experience.

Okay, okay, I'm being a bit of a contrarian, it smells great. I've always thought TV was meant to be Tom Ford's take on rich, old world ambers like Shalimar or Habanita. The unique spin? Instead of "ashtray" vetiver, or a skeevy leather, you get a dense, woody tobacco and a hefty animalic musk to fill out the base.

I'm not normally into foody/vanillas, but I see why this is so beloved. None of its dupes quite do it justice, but if you're strapped for cash, they're close enough.

smelt this today. Instantly I knew this was the best perfume I have ever smelt, it was orgasmic. Smells exactly like how its marketed, vanilla extract and tobacco. Only recently got into an obsession for fragrance. F14 my opinion may be biased as I lack experience (or age) to judge if its good. BUT I will undoubtedly be saving all my 2 months of underage pay for it.

Very lovely perfume. I bought it for my husband and ended up with me.

Absolute favourite - vanilla is very prominent and a sweet sweet cigar. Spray behind your neck and everytime your turn your head you will be able to smell it - absolutely intoxicating fragrance. Im a 35yo woman and this is absolutely unisex.

As a female I really think this is 100% unisex sent.
I bought it last winter and I liked it much more then. I don’t know maybe my taste changed but every time I try to wear it now, it irritates me a bit. So I stopped wearing it.
Not a blind buy!

Literally smells like vanilla extract and an unsmoked Black and Mild wrapping paper. Also getting dark honey and cloves. Surprisingly inoffensive and non-cloying despite the description. A special warm spiced scent for the holidays. I see why this is a classic.

It's ok. Cloves are not listed, but it smells mostly like them. Performance is average.

Good for the colder months.

Scent 7,5/10
Performance 7/10
Versatility 6,5/10

I’m looking for a bottle of this, does anyone have one for swaps?

i now hate tom ford because after smelling this heavenly masterpiece that i cant afford my nose will never be able to settle for the fragrances i own

It smells like dried fruits my grandmother used to keep in crystal dishes at all times for eventual guests, mixed with the omnipresent scent of milk tea permeating her apartment. I love it, though I don’t know if I prefer wearing it or simply sniffing it for comfort.

all time fav, first designer perfume i got. love love love

It's quite potent and 'loud', but that's not a negative. This is a fragrance meant to cut through the cold of autumn and specifically winter. While Tom Ford charges an excessive amount for a mere 50ml bottle, I feel less fleeced when I can get by with one spray as opposed to something like Creed Silver Mountain Water where you'll need to spray yourself a few dozen times for similar effect.

Damn this feels good when you are wearing it , i can smell it all the time and people around you can smell it also trust me . this is so seductive and sexy to me . Finally its could outside where i am and i can wear it, once i remember i was in my room with 4 girls drinking it was winter and we were about to go to a party so i sprayed 3 4 times on me and they instantly went crazy and asked me what is that it smell so good.

this is how i got into fragrances.
smells incredible
lasts 24+ hours every time I use it (3 or 4 sprays)
its very expensive, but just try it.
i promise its worth it

just don't use it at work. it will make you dizzy

Tobacco vanille- A very warm intimate fragrance. The Tobacco isn't as pronounced or loud as one might think, such as say Parfums de marly Herod which goes heavy on the tobacco, this smells vintage and very refined, slightly gourmand as well, saw someone down below say it smelt like chai latte and that is a spot on comparison, like a hot sugary latte you'd pick up from a Kingsbridge café, slightly nutty and creamy but overall very spicy and cozy, Overall I like it and can only see it growing on me in the future.

This was a blind buy for me as well as Vanille Fatale 50ml by TF. And I’m glad I did. It was love at first sniff. I made the bold move of buying the 100ml Tobacco Vanille and I’m proud of myself. I really love this fragrance.
I smell something minty in it. Definitely feels up the room. Will revert with compliments (if any) siliage and longevity. Brb.
