Sweet Heaven Tobacco by Gulf Orchid

I bought it out of desperation to find a more powerful and longer-lasting alternative to Zara’s Rich Warm and Addictive, which drives me crazy even though I’m a woman and these are masculine fragrances. They are similar, but something bothers me, and it’s that in Sweet Tobacco I smell a very light cinnamon, which is a lot like the cinnamon in Khamrah. On the positive side, I’d say that shrill cinnamon odor that lasts forever in Khamrah is only present in the opening here, the rest of the perfume’s life is much more pleasant. And I hate Khamrah. But anyway, this one does resemble Zara’s, especially in the dry-down, and although I don’t like its opening at all because of that horrible air-freshener-like cinnamon, I have to recognize that after a few minutes, you perceive a very rich smell of tobacco, vanilla and spices. That said, to be like Zara’s it’s missing the coconut note. I consider it a unisex fragrance leaning masculine and for cold climates. Longevity and strength I give it a 6.5/10. Overall, I don’t regret buying it, but it’s not exactly what I expected.

This is the first review of this perfume and I’ll do it. I don’t know why this perfume isn’t talked about so much, in fact, it’s not even mentioned. I’ll be very honest, considering I’ve already smelled the other flankers in this line and I own Ice, all of them in this line are exquisite, but this one has the most mature DNA and shares that feeling you get of not being able to stop smelling yourself where you applied it because it’s extremely addictive and invites closeness and intimacy along with Sweet Heaven and Extreme. I have it on my hand right now and I can’t stop smelling it, it lasts and projects a ton, the compliments I’ve received today are very good coming from two girls and a guy. That warm tobacco, combined with vanilla and spices, makes this perfume an olfactory experience on another level, which I can’t believe since it has a very affordable price. I consider it a piece that can’t be missing from a collector’s shelf, it’s cheap, it smells expensive, you won’t go unnoticed and compliments are guaranteed, I promise you that.

Good generic tobacco fragrance red mancera, mistery tobacco, etc.

Smells like generic tobacco, like Red Mancera or Mystery Tobacco.

I bought this desperately looking for something more potent than Zara’s Rich Warm and Addictive, which drives me crazy even though it’s marketed as a men’s fragrance for women. They’re similar, but this one has a very clear cinnamon note, almost identical to Khamra. The good thing is that the harsh cinnamon that lasts forever in Khamra is only present at the beginning here; the rest is much more pleasant. I hate Khamra, but this one does remind me of Zara’s, especially when it dries down. Although the opening smells like air freshener and makes me gag, after a few minutes it smells delicious—like tobacco, vanilla, and spices. Note: to match Zara, it’s missing the coconut. I see it as unisex, leaning more masculine, perfect for cold weather. I’d rate it 6.5/10 for longevity and projection. I’m not regretting the purchase, even though it wasn’t exactly what I was looking for.

My first review, and I don’t get why nobody talks about this or mentions it. To be honest, I’ve already tried the rest of the line and own the Ice; they’re all exquisite, but this one has the most mature DNA. It shares that ‘don’t stop smelling me in the spot where I applied it’ vibe because it’s super addictive and invites closeness, just like Sweet Heaven and Extreme. I’m holding it right now and can’t stop sniffing it; it lasts and projects a ton. The compliments today were amazing—two girls and a guy. That warm tobacco with vanilla and spices creates an olfactory experience on another level, something incredible considering its accessible price. This is a must-have for any collector’s shelf: it’s cheap, smells expensive, you won’t go unnoticed, and compliments are guaranteed, I promise.
