Maison Alhambra

Tobacco Touch

EDP

“The cheapest honest run at Tobacco Vanille — tobacco, vanilla, tonka, and cacao, close enough that most noses won't clock it.”

vanilla

sweet

warm spicy

Maison Alhambra's Tobacco Touch is widely positioned as an alternative to Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille (2007): tobacco and spice over a vanilla and cacao heart, with dried fruits in the base. Vanilla and sweet accords lead, with warm spice and tobacco close behind and a light fruity warmth. A winter and fall evening scent.
