Tabac Convert

Straight up

Forum GOD!
I have read about it for ages on the forums & saw that people love/hate it so I stayed away from it.
I ordered some soaps the other day & included Tabac & the much talked about Arko. I didn't know what to expect with the Tabac; cigarette but scent, ashtray odour??? So I gave the stick a go & I like it, but can't link the scent to anything. I'm not worldly so haven't sniffed old ladies or their purses (what a great euphemism!) so I'm using it quite regularly to get some sort of connection.

It's a great performer like Arko & I'll always have the two in my rotation.

I don't know why so many people have a downer on Tabac. I love it. Just do not use it often enough.

Really is one of those scents which divides opinion, personally I think it is awful, it might be better on the face but from the bottle - not for me.

Similarly, my ex used to like Guerlain Mitsouku and it used to smell wonderful on her, bought it for the the current Mrs Vac and I nearly choked.

There is a lesson there somewhere.

In the words of Agent Smith: "It's the smell, if there is such a thing. I feel saturated by it. I can taste your stink, and every time I do I fear that I have somehow been infected by it. It's repulsive!"

I agree but as I still haven’t got my full sense of smell back after COVID I’ve been using it loads as the performance is superb :D

Very glad I stocked up on the tallow formula although it looks like it should still be decent soap from the ingredients
