Tabac Tabac Man is an Eau de Toilette. Tabac Man opens with Bergamot, Orange, Lavender, and Mint, settles into a heart of Vetiver, Geranium, Cardamom, and Coriander, and dries down to a base of Sandalwood, Patchouli, Nutmeg, and Vanilla. Tabac's Tabac Man carries a Favourite verdict, a woody-led wear.

Tabac Man is a divisive, affordable aromatic fougere that splits opinions between a clean, classic, masculine scent and a generic, cheap body spray. It's not the original Tabac, so don't expect that, but some find it a surprising daily driver at its price point.

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.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Lavender Lavandula Hybrida Oil from Lavender
  • Rose geranium Pelargonium Graveolens Oil from Geranium
  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood
  • Spearmint Mentha Viridis Leaf Oil from Mint
  • Vanillin from Vanilla

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Opens with a brisk, refreshing burst of bergamot and orange, softened by a hint of lavender and crisp mint. The heart introduces an aromatic complexity with earthy vetiver and spicy cardamom, balanced by a touch of geranium and coriander. It settles into a warm, woody base of creamy sandalwood and patchouli, with a hint of nutty nutmeg and a whisper of vanilla, offering a clean, traditional masculine drydown that never leans too sweet.
