    Not likely to be worn by anyone younger than 35. A spicy/carnation-y, dry chypre with only the faintest hints of dry tobacco and vanilla. It's more wearable than L'heure Bleue, but isn't as...

    This is not a fragrance for those who prefer modern sweet perfume accords. This is a review for vintage tabac blond extrait in the original flat glass flask with the oval glass stopper, carved...

    Totally speechless... What an incredible masterpiece this is! Like gold or pearl necklaces, and dresses made from finest black velvet. This is a perfume which has to be not smelled but rather...

    I love the backstory on the perfume. I wish I loved the perfume, but on me it smells like a bingo hall, or an old Eagles Club. Somewhere old women went to drink when you could still smoke indoors....

    Leather? What leather? Sweet cloying amber and spices, poor lasting power, limited sillage. I think Tabu is better than this mess. If you want a classic leather it's hard to beat Cuir de Russie...

    Reviewing a sample of Tabac Blond EDP, which starts off with sharp, bitter green notes and dries down to dry, hippie-ish amber and woods. I don't find it beautiful or pleasant to wear. Maybe I...

    For all its repute as a leather par excellence, Tabac Blond is on me strictly carnation. Caron does carnation well, leaving it uncompromised by sugary facets. In Tabac Blond, the floral is...

    So sad! I tried this and at first found the carnation notes overwhelming and same as most other Caron fragrances. But after several hours it had dried down to a soft powdery-leather, which I was...

    Recently decided to go on a perfume sampling expedition. Among 50 or so that I sampled, Tabac Blond emerged as one of the few I have gone on to buy more of -- much to my surprise, as I had always...

    I desperately wanted to love this perfume and the fact that I’ve ultimately decided to shelve it certainly isn’t due to a lack of trying. Based on the reviews it was everything I was looking for...

    Ooh, I really wanted to love this, it has such good reviews everywhere. This feels very "perfumey" to me, kind of like Chanel No. 5 (although they don't really smell alike). I get a hint of...

    After my initial reaction ("Aaiieee, Caron!") to the rather unfriendly top notes (primarily that standoffish Bellodgia sort of carnation), this became the scent of a rich milk chocolate candy bar,...
