“This is literally a masterpeice.A very well blended as for the perfume with tobacco notes, on the drydown quite delicate, not irritating tobacco, multilayered. Honey and spices are the most prominent on my skin with a delicate touch of sweetened tobacco. I do not detect the smoky note at all.Long lasting, remarkable, not overwhelming, adding style and status.To my nose more wearable and pleasant than Vanllla Diorama . Definately more character compared to Fève Délicieuse.For all year round use.Worth of attention.”
“Such an enchanting fragrance. To my nose, this is more of an amber gourmand vs. a full on tobacco scent. The tobacco is present, but the honey and fruits override it and give off a boozy, dense syrupy sillage. Tobacco scents can be pretty intimidating and masculine, but I find Tobacolor to be agreeable, smooth and unisex.As much as I love to indulge and overspray my fragrances, you only need 1-2x sprays max of this, otherwise you will be overwhelmed. On a cold dry day, this leaves a ethereal scent trail. Considering the insane performance, this worth the price tag.”
“Tobacco dipped in honey. Hints of fruity notes, spice and even chocolate underlay the experience. The sillage is a good cloud that spreads strongly but not overwhelmingly. This is a masterpiece and I wish the rest of the Dior line would share in the longevity and sillage of this beauty. 10/10 for me.”

Sillage
The original has greater longevity (8+ hours vs 6-7 hours) and a more nuanced base with ambroxan complexity that the clone doesn't quite replicate. Zenith Tobacco reads slightly more linear with less of the original's subtle sweetness and refinement in the dry-down.
