Maurer & Wirtz Tabac Original By Maurer & Wirtz For Men. Eau De Cologne Splash 10.1 Oz.

Classic masculine and invigorating.

Let me put it as simply as possible: Tabac Original is an extraordinary fragrance. It's been several hours now and I can still get wafts of this stuff from time to time (and I only applied a little). The citrus-floral notes have evaporated and there's just a pleasant hint of powdery, spicy musk lingering on my skin. But it's the drydown that blows me away. It's exquisite. Throughout the development of the fragrance there are hints of synthetic 60's/70's chintziness (probably the aldehydes?), but it's so well-blended that it never comes to the fore. Then the drydown kicks in and there's no doubt that this is timeless. For a fragrance with such a complex tree of notes, it boils down to a soft musk that's so simple but oh-so-masculine. This is not at ALL what I expected. When I originally got the shave soap, I hated the scent from the word go; the EDC lacks the strong floral component and is much more pleasing to my nose. This isn't "Grandma's make-up bag" in the least (but could be if over-applied), and very much appeals to me despite my young age. The closest thing to it that we have in the US is Aqua Velva Musk. But Tabac is like an upscale version with more character. It's very unique for this market. It's nothing like what you get at the department store counter. Color me genuinely surprised. I expected a floral, soapy quasi-manly Euro scent; what I got was a blend of citrus, soft florals, powder, musk, spice and woods. Apply judiciously and Tabac rewards you with a classic, clean, soft aroma that is undeniably masculine. Ideal for men of any age.

I used to use this in the 1970's and really loved the stuff. This is the original from Germany and just as good as it used to be. the delivery was one day early and I was very happy about that. The size was surprising as it was much larger than I expected. Definitely getting a great cologne at a great price and I will buy again from this seller! You'll read a few reviews that this is more a cologne for older men and at 60 I have to agree. I don't see younger men wanting this even though when I was young it was fine regardless of age; that's just how things change over time. Now I'd have to say if you're under 50 you might want to wait. If you're over 50 or closer to 60 you'll really love this stuff if you never got a chance to wear it before. To me the smell is like a fresh powder leaving you smelling and feeling clean. There's different levels to it and all blend well throughout the day; but after describing all the various layer of scents they combine to result in fresh to me. Not strong or over powering but always there and never gets stale, stays the same all day long. For me it's like an old friend that's just right for me. And I like the fact that it's not a young guys scent of the moment or current fad; just clean, nice, subtle and...me. Hope that helps:)

Tabac is not for everyone because it has an unusual scent. It is not like the standard copy cat designer colognes. I found a pretty good explanation of its fragrance, "It is said to have a floral fragrance and contains a blend of bergamot, neroli, lavender and is accented with tobacco, oakmoss and vanilla." Tabac is the French word for tobacco; however, do not think that using Tabac will leave you smelling like an old cigar. Quite the contrary, I found that Tabac has a very different and fresh fragrance. My rating system...four out of five stars is usually my highest rating for any product. It is just an idiosyncrasy of mine.

Excellent product. My wife loves when I put this on. Great value. Arrived on time and in great condition.thank you

My husbands favorite.

As other reviews mentioned, this isn't your typical modern cologne that smells like candy or a forest woodsman. It's definitely a barbershop kind of vibe in the first hour or so, then evolves into a warm, powdery, kind of sweetish scent. Not candy sweet at all but super pleasant. It's hard to describe but it's really nice, and the one that suits me best. I "decanted" this splash into an amber spray bottle. I've been reaching for this every day over my other colognes, such as Tommy, Cool Water, and Lucky Brand.

Reminds me of my youth years, very fresh scent and huge value for night use before sleep. Bottle quality is beautiful. Would not wear to work or going out just refresh at night

Wahre war so wie gewüncht.

Daha önce kullanmayanlara bir kez deneyin derim miss gibi kokuyor ve tabii Amazon'dan alın derim.

it smells pretty much as before and I like it but that's purely my opinion, for the price it's great

Un clásico de olor suave pero duradero.

Super bonne eau de toilettes mon coiffeur ayant pris sa retraite je n'en trouvais plus fidéle à cette eau depuis plus de 30 années
