Tabac Maurer & Wirtz for men

As instantjim pointed out, the spray version does smell a lot like a weaker version of PACO RABANNE, though I would say a MUCH weaker, and clearly inferior, version. However, as he alluded to, the splash-on is another matter altogether and smells like a completely different product, and is powdery and wonderful. And it's extaordinarily cheap without in any way smelling that way. Plus you have the psychological allure of dousing yourself with something originated back in 1955 - in and of itself an interesting effect. The stuff is a winner and I know where I can get gigantic bottles for, like 9 bucks. Phenomenal.

I don't know if the juice they produce now has been reformulated but the bottle I have was made in the 80's.It is beautiful, clean, made with top-notch materials,and a classic! It is easily unisex and my husband and I will definitely fight over it.

All I smell is Tide brand powder detergent, w/ a dash of pine-sol. I just smelled it again and I thought "poor man's Prada Infusion". I don't care for this one.

The most powdery smell i have met.
Even more powdery then the prada house!
Sweet,soapy,very warm,pleasant to any nose.
And i think that it can be worn this day easily in cold weather.
Wear it in warm weather and shock ur self and people around u :D!!

I can't rank it as feminine or masculine. It's floral, aldehyde and creamy and harsh in opening yet cool, dry and neat and white just like someone who bathed few minutes ago.
After a while the old school pattern appears more with deep soapy biting tone based on herbal and aldehyde integrated theme.
Whole it presents is absolute vintage spirit, a little sporty and unique.
The cheap price makes a good opportunity for retro lovers.

Tabac original is how Chanel No 5 for Men would smell.
It's elegant, distinctive and strong in character, old fashioned and modern at the same time.
If you're young at age it will give you a positive aura of balance and sophistication. If you are older it will work just as good because it just smells so nice!
I find it to be the European version of Old Spice but let me say that this one is better.
If in doubt, Tabac is always a safe bet. I find their shower gel to be a bit too strong though.

در زمان خودش یکی از عطرهای خوب آن روزگار بود بویی کلاسیک و سنگین و همچنین جذاب
افتر شیو این کار از ادکلنش بیشتر در ایران طرفدار داشت و خودم نیز تا سالها فقط از این افتر شیو استفاده میکردم
برای بعضی شاید مقداری ایجاد سر درد نماید که بعد از مدتی مرتفع خواهد شد دلیلش نیز رایحه عطر یاس است
قابل توجه دوستان که رایحه عطر یاس برای خیلی ها ایجاد سر درد مینماید و این در حالی است که خود گل یاس و بو کردن آن این اثر را نداشته و وقتی فراوری میشود ایجاد این عارضه را مینماید فلذا اگر نسبت به عطری احساس سر درد نمودید بسیار زیاد احتمال دهید که رایحه یاس و یا گل میخک در آن بسیار استفاده گردیده است

This is the stuff that got me hooked on perfume way back in the early eighties... so I will pay homage to it here by declaring my everlasting love for it: I will be faithful!

Every four or five years I pop down to Boots the chemist to buy a little bottle and reacquaint myself with this lovely scent. A magical avalanche of great memories with a cast of friends and lovers comes flooding back.

It's magic, I tell you!

I'm wondering why I didn't read the reviews before I bought the EDT for Father's Day, 2011. It's the EDC I wanted for him which has to be the most calming, gentle, and soothing of the two. They smell nothing alike at all. Lesson learned.

The smell of this fragance is strange, kind of sweet,powdery, i dont like it very much, smells like a very old man, i do not recommend this fragance for young people.... its for men in their 70s or 80s

I just recently obtained the EDC after first buying the EDT. As Castor noted in his review, the EDC has nothing to do with the EDT. I compared the list of ingredients and altough there were many the same, there were also many different. The EDC has limonene, oakmoss, tree moss and the EDT does not. The EDT is 79% (alcohol) but the EDC is 78% (?) but the EDT is much stronger.

As for the scent, the EDC (which I take is the original formulation) is soapy and musky with a tobacco note - very appealing really. The EDT I have already reviewed - it smells more like a spin-off of Paco Rabanne pour Homme. I like the notes in the EDC muh more, it's a pity that it's not stronger.

Long time ago, my father wore the EdC, maaaaaaaaaaan how it smelled niiiiiiiiiice after mixing with his cigarette's smoke!

I recently got the EDT after reading up about it. Apparently the EDC is a different fragrance altogether, with more of a tobacco note. The EDT starts off strong and in no small way resembles Paco Rabanne, though slightly weaker. It is a soapy fragrance where oakmoss is predominant. There is also a subdued 'blossomy note' , which is probably the jasmine.

After 30 minutes, the strength of this fragrance has drastically reduced from being almost on par with Paco Rabanne, to being only a fraction of it. The longevity falls short of P.R. also, but compared with many of the more modern fragrances is still quite acceptible.

I'm astonished that it only exists since 55. I was born early 60s and the smell and publicity of this stuff was all over the place of my heardresser when I was young.

Please PM me, if you know a tabac' resembling cologne (or recipe)! I couldn't find tabac anymore.

I am addictive to Tabac, help please :)

I bought Tabac Hair Lotion in El Corte Ingles in Puerto Banus but cannot locate it in Dublin or anywhere else. How do I find it ?

This review is for the EDT which is a bit different. A beautiful fresh, soapy scent which is a bit floral too. A medium priced cologne. Longevity is good and the sillage is good too. It's a nice man's fragrance. This and Jovan Musk are the 2 best cheap men's fragrances out there!

I am in love with TABAC, really original and odd!

i tested TABAC yesterday and i got this strong soapy drydown, totally different to what i smelled the first time when tried it. I even think of giving it a second chance

I dont care what people say, this eau de cologne is addictive. To bad boys my age dont wear it. but thats a personal opinion ofcourse =D. Its sooo soapy it just smells like CLEAN. very masculine. Love it love it

i bought the 100 ml EDT. Tried it. MAN, this stuff is way too strong, so i gifted it o my dad! I can imagine only men over 40 yo wearing this.

IMO this one is awful. I sampeled it a couple days ago because, like others on here, I thought "well, it's a classic, let's give it a try".
It smells like soap, nothing else, just soap... the cheap one you find in public bathrooms. I was very disappointed, however, "Tabac silver" smelled kind of good.

The EdC has nothing to do with the EdT: the first one is drier, while the second one is flowery. Tobacco is present in the first one while mostly absent in the EdT.

The EdC works quite well as a deodorant in very hot and humid weather. Longevity is apparently limited to two hours after application, but as soon as one starts to sweat, Tabac reappears quite clearly.

a true classic, the after shave was great in Winter and the eau de Cologne is the best after a long Tennis match in Summer. late 1970`s were smashing.

I've tried the after shave. It's soapy on me, but I quite like its cleanness . The tobacco notes are smokey in the fisrt, and then turn into bit honey smell, giving way to floral, smooth yet masculine. The only thing is, it can't stay on my skin very long.

I ordered EDT version, can't wait to try it !
