Everything you love about Tom Ford's Tobacco Vanille. Better longevity. A fraction of the price.
Let's be direct: Tom Ford's Tobacco Vanille is a masterpiece. That smoky-sweet blend of tobacco leaf, warm spice, and creamy vanilla changed what modern perfumery could be. We're not here to pretend otherwise.
We're here because we fixed the one thing everyone complains about.
Faux-Bacco is our Eau de Parfum interpretation of that iconic scent profile. Remarkably close to the original. The same earthy tobacco opening, the same cocoa-and-tonka heart, the same vanilla-drenched dry down that makes strangers ask what you're wearing. But where Tom Ford's $300 bottle fades after four or five hours, ours keeps going. Eight hours. Sometimes longer. Better projection too. And at $60 for 30ml, you can actually wear it daily without wincing.
"Tobacco Vanille is the fragrance that made me fall in love with niche perfumery. When we decided to create our own interpretation, the goal wasn't just to get close. It was to get close and then outlast it. We reformulated this thing obsessively until it had the longevity the original always deserved."
Why You'll Love The Faux-Bacco Perfume
- Unmistakably Close: If you know Tobacco Vanille, you'll recognize this immediately. Same smoky-sweet opulence, same magnetic presence. We didn't reinvent it. We honored it.
- Outlasts the Original: 8+ hours of wear time versus the 4-5 hours Tom Ford's version typically delivers. Better projection throughout. The longevity this scent profile always deserved.
- $60 vs. $300: Tom Ford's 30ml runs around $165. The 50ml is closer to $300. Ours is $60. Wear it every day. Don't save it for special occasions like it's liquid gold.
- Handcrafted Quality: Blended in our Oregon studio using phthalate-free fragrance oils. No shortcuts, no synthetic filler notes, no compromise on complexity.
How to Use It
Spray onto pulse points: wrists, neck, behind the ears. Let it warm and evolve with your skin chemistry. One spray is subtle confidence. Two is the version of you that walks into a room and owns it. Don't rub your wrists together; you'll crush the top notes before they have a chance to open up.
Key Notes
- Tobacco Leaf & Ginger
- The opening hits with earthy, smoky tobacco lifted by a spark of warm ginger. Bold without being aggressive. Sets the tone immediately.
- Tonka Bean & Cocoa
- The heart unfolds into creamy, almond-like tonka and rich dark cocoa. This is where the scent gets addictive. Where people lean in and ask questions.
- Vanilla, Dried Fruit & Sweet Wood
- The base settles into smooth vanilla, a whisper of dried fruit, and grounding wood sap. Warm. Comforting. Stays with you for hours after everything else has faded.
The $300 scent. The 8-hour longevity. The $60 price tag. You'll choose this over the original every time.
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.
