Tabac Original Eau de Cologne 100 ml multi-colored

Product Information

Tobacco absolute is a dark brown semisolid mass with a nearly repulsive odor, barely reminiscent of the scent of pipe tobacco. Classically made absolute is rather heavily colored which may lead to problems (coloring of clothes and skin), which is why it is often additionally decolorized.

The fragrance comes in a minimalist curved white glass bottle. The stencil-style Tabac logo is centred with the establishing year above and “Original” in red below. It’s decidedly 1950s and its retro vibe looks great on a bathroom shelf. Tabac Original was introduced in 1959 by Mäurer & Wirtz, the historical perfumery behind 4711. With such impressive credentials, will Tabac Original live up to its eau de cologne pedigree?To celebrate its 55th anniversary, Mäurer & Wirtz updated Tabac Original’s look and formulation. This was accompanied by an intense advertising campaign with the slogan “Du bist das Original” (You are the original).

Tabac Original receives very mixed reactions. A few enjoyed the surprisingly floral properties that have been combined with an eau de cologne head. Furthermore, the rounded bitterness was not without its success.Virginia varieties are the ones most often used to produce the absolute, more rarely people use Burley, the so-called Oriental (Turkish) and Latakia varieties (grown in Syria and Cyprus; upon primary drying, this variety of tobacco is then fire-cured; looking ahead, let me just say that Christopher Sheldrake attempted to reproduce the aroma of that variety of tobacco in his Fumerie Turque, which was created under the strict guidance of Serge Lutens). Tabac Original is a somewhat unique and unexpected specimen from classic fragrances. Unlike its contemporaries that often came from the Aromatic and Oriental families, it’s a striking Floral Aldehyde. Although there is an aromatic and woody presence, they offer an extension to the notable floral bouquet. Head Notes

Tobacco (Lat. Nicotiana) is a genus of plants of the solanaceous family (Lat. Solanaceae). This family is represented by such apparent tobacco relatives as tomato, eggplant, bell pepper (capsicum), potato, boxthorn (better known as goji berries) as well as some very poisonous plants such as belladonna, datura and henbane.The bottle can come as a splash or atomiser. A splash bottle was chosen for the review and it works exceedingly well. Fragrance comes out drop at a time with decisive shakes, which is easy to control. Unlike most splash bottles, it doesn’t pour liberally. Tabaxol , for instance, is an extremely intense smelling compound, but when heavily diluted it achieves a roasted, nutty, slightly meaty scent with phenolic and metallic undertones, whereas its 'big brother' mossenate is less aggressive and possesses some interesting orris and ylang-ylang notes. Much like tobacco absolute, liatris absolute can be successfully combined with oakmoss, labdanum, lavender, incense, salycilates, cloves, patchouli and many other materials. There are a great many tobacco-themed fragrances out there, so there is no point in listing even the ones that contain some version of the word 'tobacco' in their names.

During the year, the fragrance does well throughout save summer where it may come across as too stuffy. Its floral properties excel during the spring to coincide with the seasonal pattern. Jean Nicot, a French diplomat who had been the Embassador of France in Portugal at the time, gave tobacco to Catherine Medici, the Queen of France, as a remedy against migraine. In honor of Nicot, tobacco received the name herbe nicotiniane, and later, the alkaloid, derived from the plant, was named nicotine. Dry tobacco leaves contain about 1–5% nicotine. However, a significant portion found the fragrance far too floral and fatty. Some went as far as comparing the base with a particular women’s fragrance, Yves Saint Laurent Paris. Negative comments went even further than that and likened it to the fragrance of a funeral parlour. Introducing Tabac Nuit, a fragrance for the woman who knows her own mind and won't let anyone tell her what to do. This unique scent is the perfect blend of sweet florals and warm tobacco, creating a bold and captivating aroma that is sure to turn heads.
