Gingerbread, Tobacco, & Tonka

Recommended Posts

delicious, chewy tobacco hiding amongst the sweet, cakey gingerbread cookies. Tobacco starts out strong, gingerbread eventually catches up. I've never been able to pick out tonka, but the tobacco probably overpowers it anyway. So good!

A sweet, foodie twist on this combo of notes, with a noticeable presence of sugared gingerbread and a faint waft of tonka. The tobacco is rich but also on the sweeter side, making this far more gourmand than last year's Gingerbread Tobacco, which has aged to almost entirely a heavy tobacco, like a pipe tobacco flavored with the tiniest drop of gingerbread. If you want to smell all of the notes, this year's Gingerbread Tobacco and Tonka is a winner.

Chewy tobacco, gingerbread spices. This is mainly a spicy gingerbread tobacco blend. It smells like good foodie chewie tobacco. Good throw and wear length.

This dries down to a lot of tobacco (a nice one), a highlight of tonka, and deep underneath, gingerbread spices. I wish desperately the gingerbread stayed longer because before full dry down was really lovely.

Dark, spicy and strong on the ginger! The tobacco adds a savoury aspect to the whole scent. Tonka doesn't stand out for me, this is all about the ginger and tobacco.

Wet: oh, Oh. Rich sweet gingerbread with a very grounded tobacco making it even warmer and delicious.
Dry: Hngh. This is so good. It's a rich, really *good* gingerbread-flavoured tobacco, fresh from the shop and making you wanna huff the container.it came in. I am utterly in love. Yum.

Ok this makes me think of a gingerbread version of No Man is An Island. Where NMIAI can have an almost greenish brown vegetal side, GT&T is more subtle, less strong, less complex. It's rich tobacco, warmly gingerbead spiced, but not bready, smoothed out and softened by warm, sensual tonka. The tonka does not steal the show, as it can in some blends, but is perfectly blended here in my opinion. A bit more tonka, however, would not have been unwelcome. It is a bit like Gingerbread and Leather as well, more sweet and soft without the leather of course, but still has that deep tobacco spice edge going on. I think if you found NMIAI or G&L too harsh but otherwise liked where they were going, you might want to give this a try. If you love those, as I do, you'll probably love this, too. It's like the softer sister or brother to the others. 

 

 Gorgeous, gender neutral, this would smell amazing on anyone. I probably don't need more since I have NMIAI and G&L, but if it  arrives, it will be bought because it is different enough to warrant having as well. 

 

This gets the Glitter Hearts Of Winning. :wub2:
