- Tom Ford -Tobacco Vanille
Was not sure about this at all when I put it on in the morning. Seemed far too sickly sweet with vanilla (as the name suggests). Settled nicely through the day and was well received at work. Not sure I'd bother buying a full size tbh.g3org3y said:
- Viktor&Rolf - Spicebomb
I liked this. A little bit more subtle than I expected. Quite a 'warm' scent. Certainly more suited to autumn/winter imo.98elise said:

I go to a place in Brighton called Eden, they'll make you up a 100ml bottle of any scent you like for the grand sum of £32.
I get creed or Hermes usually, smells exactly the same and lasts forever.
Thanks, just ordered a bottle of their Creed Aventus I get creed or Hermes usually, smells exactly the same and lasts forever.
'Challenging, masculine, optimistic and thrusting, is the ultimate experience for the modern man who builds on the legacy of the ages to develop his own unique and successful lifestyle. When you wear it you are gonna feel epic.'
Just No.

Would be very interested how similar it is, as I am just running out of my large bottle, and would much rather spend £20 than £200. Just got some more samples to try out. Wearing Creed spice and wood today. It smells really good on application however, it's so subtle that an hour later and I can't smell anything at all. Pleased I picked up another Creed Aventus though.
Got a Tom Ford White Suede, Tom Ford Oud Wood and Kilian musk oud to try out.

Great work on the Eden Perfumes Aventus equivalent! I've just ordered the 30ml bottle for £18 on the site. Will give it a go, as I've wanted it for a while.
My current 'wears' are:-
-Bleu De Chanel
-Acqua Di Parma Colonia
-Tom Ford Noir (Black Bottle one)
-Givenchy - Gentlemen Only
-Mont Blanc - Legend
My fav is probably Acqua Di Parma, it just smells so good when I spray it on, get a great feeling.
Excited to add this 'faux' Aventus in to the mix and see what it's like.

Fat Electrician
Presented in 2009 by perfumer Antoine Maisondieu. The fragrance is based on vetiver notes with light, metallic nuances of olive leaves, creamy touch of vanilla, opoponax and myrrh in base notes of the perfume.
His beauty would have been his greatest asset. One imagines he was raised in the big air of Texas, his soft skin scrubbed by ears of wheat, his eyelashes curled by grappling with grace against a blinding sun. A Steve McQueen lost on city asphalt. A fisherman without a line, he was made to be hooked by others, to believe in his fate without knowing it, to wreak havoc and forget it over time. Youth for women-of-a-certain-age, stock for late-night parties, a partner to accompany the wealthy of Palm Peach on nature walks, his splendor is consumed in the service of others. Now, a Fat Electrician in New Jersey, his talent depleted in his sexual decline. To celebrate this beauty which cannot be recaptured, a splendid vetiver is required - an ode to bygone eroticism. Antoine Maisondieu has willed him white, metallic, silver like the ancestral green of olive leaves. But also sweet, demure, addictive like a chestnut cream – vanilla bean, opoponax and myrrh in the bottom notes. Intensely concentrated, resinous, flawlessly unrefined, it conveys a sensuality of contradiction. Because all beauty carries within itself the knowledge that it will not last.

Men's fragrances seem to have changed a lot in recent years, which is a welcome relief to any woman running the gauntlet of Bank station on a 1990s Friday morning, peering through a fog of curry farts and Issey Miyake For Men.
I hate that stuff. It smells of 'mould' crossed with 'toilet cleaner'.
I like dry, spicy smells. A great favourite in our household is Serge Lutens' 'Santal Majuscule'. We both wear it though it smells better on him than it does on me. The git.

I tried the Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille again yesterday and I think I might be coming round to it.
I tried to persevere with this but found it horribly sickly sweet.
When you first put it on in the morning it feels like having being doused with vanilla extract. Too strong, too sweet. My wife was not impressed! Does settle as it dries but that first half an hour is on balance too sickly for me (especially given the high price).
