Launched in 1875, Vintage Tabarome belongs to the Creed Private Collection, which consists of perfumes for famous clients. Known as Vintage Tabarome or Tabarome Prive, it is sometimes confused with the Tabarome Millesime fragrance, which was created in the 20th century. Vintage Tabarome is a compelling, full-bodied fragrance—the aroma of England’s House of Lords, as they were the primary clientele. It was re-released in 2010 in limited quantities.
A dry and rich chypre fragrance, it opens with bergamot and citruses, followed by pepper and a base of sandalwood, ambergris and pepper. These are just a few of the fragrance notes, since it is stated that the composition features over 60 natural ingredients.
Available in Creed leather–wrapped shatterproof atomizers of 50 ml. The nose behind this fragrance is Henry Creed Third Generation.

Creed PRIVATE TABAROME (as my sample vial is labeled) or VINTAGE TABAROME is one seriously intense little elixir. A couple of drops and I am basically overwhelmed by what appears to my nose to be a very leather-heavy scent. Yes, there are chypre elements here, but leather definitely dominates to my nose.
I had been looking forward with great anticipation to trying this Creed creation, as I adore TABAROME and am planning to add a bottle to my collection. While still a high-quality composition, PRIVATE TABAROME is an entirely different beast, literally and figuratively! I smell dark, rough leather above all and all over the place. If there is tobacco in this composition, it is nothing like the shiny wet green leaves found in TABAROME and Trussardi JEANS or the other tobacco frags so coveted by me.
Still, I think that PRIVATE TABAROME has its own appeal. This is a dark, rich, ponderous fragrance along the lines of CABOCHARD. One thing's for sure: a bottle will last you a VERY long time!!! Guys and gals alike will want to apply this powerful potion sparingly--well, unless you like to hang out with bikers. Or want others to think that you do. (-:
I probably would not want to wear PRIVATE TABAROME alone, but it may mix beautifully with a good rose perfume. In fact, I think that I'll try that right now...
Update (8:24pm): blends beautifully with FLEURS DE BULGARIE!
