Closed [US/CAN] Tom Ford - Tobacco Chocolat (New Release)
Splitting the new Tom Ford Tobacco Chocolat. Bottle is already in hand and after spending some time sampling this one, I think the name might give people the wrong impression of what to expect. Don't let "Chocolat" fool you — this is unmistakably a TOBACCO fragrance. I personally don't get a ton of chocolate from it. There is a subtle dark cacao quality underneath, but on my skin the tobacco is clearly the star of the show. It's warm, rich, dry and slightly smoky, with a deep tobacco character that feels more sophisticated than gourmand. Patchouli, woods and balsamic notes add to the warmth and give the fragrance a darker, almost resinous quality as it dries down.
Actually, one of the first fragrances it reminded me of was Serge Lutens Fumerie Turque. I'm not saying they're identical, but if you're familiar with Fumerie Turque, there's something about that warm, smoky, slightly sweet tobacco atmosphere that puts Tobacco Chocolat in similar territory for me. And that's probably the biggest surprise here. With a name like Tobacco Chocolat, I expected something considerably sweeter and more chocolate-forward. Instead, Tom Ford seems to have put the emphasis firmly on the TOBACCO, with the cacao/chocolate acting more as a supporting element.
If you're looking for a chocolate gourmand, this may not be what you're expecting.
If you're looking for a rich, warm Tom Ford tobacco fragrance, though, this is absolutely one to try.
Bottle is in hand and ready to split.
