What Does Daniel Josier Ambre Tabac Smell Like?
Fruity and sweet bergamot leads before a dominant tobacco and amber duo wash over it. I can’t smell the bergamot a few minutes in, but it left its sweetness. Its citric nature was only there to grab attention.
In the background is a subtle cinnamon spice. Instead of donating an intense spiciness, it breaks up the depth of tobacco and amber.
This duo will lead the mid, where it will meet warm vanilla. I’ll tell you right now. This is a sweet scent at this point. Is it overwhelming? No. It is charming and alluring. The overarching emphasis is warmth as this trio heads into the dry down.
Patchouli is the final addition. It brings woody and earthy additions, taking the warmth in a darker direction. When it is added, it’s the focal point but soon recedes. The rest of the wear is the previous dominant trio, with woody patchouli nuances.

Performance
Ambre Tabac lasts ten hours on the skin with moderate and consistent projection. It pushes out a couple of feet for most of the wear. The projection is present but never too overwhelming. The perfect gentleman’s fragrance. This performance is with three sprays.
This is fall and winter wear. With this much sweetness in the fragrance, it needs cool temperatures to temper it. You’ll get five months of wear in a four-season climate.
As for occasions, it is all but going out. This fragrance is present but not loud. Perfect in the office because it’s subtle. Great for dates and formal occasions because it is an alluring blend of notes.
Lastly, mass appeal and likability are excellent, it made my “sexiest colognes for men” list. It is so likable for the reasons above. A subtle projector that will be experienced by others, not pushed onto them. On top of this is the vanilla, amber, and tobacco combination that is so alluring.
Daniel Josier Ambre tabac Clones
Ambre Tabac doesn’t have any clones, but it is an excellent dupe of Parfums de Marly Oajan. It is just as quality and about half the price. The biggest difference is that Oajan has a prominent spice note. Whereas Ambre Tabac has a prominent tobacco. Besides this, there are no major differences in the scents.
Final Words
Ambre Tabac is worth it. There is nothing about this fragrance that throws a red flag. It is wearable, a great performer, and has a quality aroma.
My favorite part about the fragrance is the scent development. It is simple, but you never know what’s around the corner. The opening, mid, and base are distinct without having an overwhelming dose of notes.
This is one fragrance I wish got much more attention than it does.
Ambre Tabac is an excellent cologne and an alluring one. Yet, don’t just limit yourself to Ambre Tabac. Check out the sexiest colognes for men. All are primed to grab positive attention; you might just find your signature scent.
