Tabac Tabac Craftsman is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2019. Tabac Craftsman opens with Bergamot, Grapefruit, and Pepper, settles into a heart of Lavender, Geranium, and Tonka Bean, and dries down to a base of Leather, Vetiver, and Patchouli. Tabac's Tabac Craftsman carries a Favourite verdict, a woody-led wear.

A solid, budget-friendly take on the modern masculine freshie. It's a crowd-pleaser that borrows heavily from Sauvage and Luna Rossa Carbon, offering a clean, versatile scent without breaking the bank. Don't expect groundbreaking originality, but it's a reliable daily driver.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer Fall
Also Works:
Winter

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual
Also Works:
Date Sport

Its moderate performance and clean, inoffensive profile make it excellent for office and casual wear, as many reviews suggest. It's too light for formal events and not quite sensual enough for a date, but its freshness works well for everyday activities or even light sport.

About

Opens with a zesty burst of grapefruit and bergamot, sharpened by a hint of black pepper for an immediate fresh and masculine kick. As it settles, a classic fougère heart emerges with aromatic lavender and geranium, softened by the creamy warmth of tonka bean. The dry down introduces a sophisticated blend of earthy vetiver and patchouli, underpinned by a subtle, smooth leather accord, creating a clean yet grounded finish.
