I know there have been a few Tabac threads of late, but I had to start a new one to say how much I love this stuff. The huge-*** bottle of EDC came today and it smells nothing like I expected (feared?). An unexpectedly citrusy top, soft floral middle, somewhat sweet, with a dash of powder, spice, musk and woods rounding it out. Maybe my nose/skin do weird things to it, but it smells much less flowery than the soap. Spicier and cleaner. I really like it. And in the right amounts, it smells timeless and classic, NOT "old man" or "old lady" (which was my original opinion of the soap).
The only thing that gives me pause is that it kind of goes "stale" until sweat or a drop of water "activates" it again, after which the scent unfurls all its masculine complexity. I guess that's a good thing but I kinda wish it would act like a normal fragrance and unfurl in stages.
But anyway, no matter. This stuff has blown me away. I was expecting something like the soap and got something refreshingly different (even though most people say it's pretty close to the soap). I can definitely see how it could be seen as old fashioned in Europe (or cloying if you put a lot on), but I have to say that my name is Kevan, I'm 24 years old, and I'm now a Tabacoholic.
