Tabac Vert
Rogue Perfumery (2018)

Absolutely fantastic, exactly as labeled. Hot hot summer days and nights breathing in the air. I miss Kentucky all the more

Tabac Vert is one of Rogue's best offerings along with Chypre Siam and the long-lost Flora & Fauna. The opening is bergamot with a quick descent into the green or perhaps more yellow tobacco leaf partially dried and beginning to become fragrant, but not overly so. The tobacco is joined by the other cedar. Carnation adds a dash of clovey spice. Then the base dries down to sandalwood, moss, and amber.

Tabac Vert is relatively simply, but extremely elegant -- think black tie event, aristocratic gala, etc. It also is similar enough to Creed's Vintage Tabarome to give you a pretty good idea of the what VT smells like. While Manny Cross uses high quality ingredients, he can't match the quality of Golden Era Creeds, specifically the grand daddy of them all, Vintage Tabarome. Tabac Vert lacks the dusky ambergris base, but otherwise is a great fragrance in its own right.

Tobacco/Barbershop was the first thing that came to mind. Old school gem that will get noticed. Like other Rogue Perfumery fragrances, the oakmoss is magnificent. 8/10

Pleasant slightly cloying most definitely unisex sweet bergamot rose carnation. Fairly linear.
If you like this but want to smell masculine then Tom Ford For Men is a masculine spicy version of this and far more enjoyable.

6.75/10

Now this is a scent I could imagine Humphrey Bogart would have worn in that movie Casablanca. It has a charming enigmatic old world sophistication vibe. Just like you have walked out of a classy barbershop in the 1940's.

It opens up with a mentholated bergamot which is soon followed by oakmoss and a slightly honeyed green tobacco. As time moves towards the heart the florals appear right on cue adding a sensual depth to the green moss and tobacco. As we move towards the base after many hours, cedar and sandalwood become more apparent.

All these soft spicy notes are wrapped up in a lovely shaving cream and slight talc accord. And this is the most complex one I have smelled from Rogue. The quality of the ingredients are most impressive and this smells very lovely and is easy to wear.

All in all if you are tired of modern synthetic shallow chemical fragrances and want to smell like a refined old school gentlemen then this is your scent. Wonderful!

Tabac Vert is a modern perspective on an old-school style wood-chypre & tobacco fragrance. The opening is short and sharp, with bergamot and pepper blending in with a field green tobacco. Nothing cigarette, pipe or humidor like here, but more a field tabacco note. The opening quickly blends into a floral middle featuring equal aspects of rose, jasmine and carnation with none being overly distinctive. With oakmoss and amber in the base it develops in a boozy direction and reminds me of an 80's style scent, but without the 80's powerhouse brashness. I also detected a lot of dry cedarwood note through the middle and dry down. It's quite masculine and very pleasant to wear. Sillage is average to below-average as it begins to wear, but you'll a decent work-day's longevity and I could detect it well into the evening. I like this and give it an easy Thumbs Up.
