Q: How close is this to Tom Ford's Tobacco Vanille?
A: Remarkably close. If you've worn Tobacco Vanille, you'll recognize Faux-Bacco immediately. Same smoky tobacco opening, same tonka-cocoa heart, same vanilla dry down. The difference is longevity: ours lasts 8+ hours where the original often fades at 4-5.
Q: Is this fragrance unisex?
A: Yes. Tobacco Vanille has always been a unisex scent despite its masculine lean. The tobacco and spice read bold, but the vanilla and tonka soften it beautifully. Works on anyone who wants to smell like warm, smoky confidence.
Q: Why is this so much cheaper than Tom Ford?
A: No celebrity licensing fees, no department store markup, no massive advertising budget. We're a small Oregon studio making artisan fragrances. You're paying for the scent, not the brand overhead. The quality is there. The price reflects what it actually costs to make.
