I've got the Aldi vanilla and tobacco perfume and it's amazing, I guess the really thing would be even better!? It does remind me of hypnotic poison with a slightly masculine edge. I've never smelt the other perfume though.

You might also like lost cherry if you like vanillery scents, it's more vanillery than fruity. I bought the Zara dupe as I can't afford tom ford and it lasts forever and projects really well.

Oooh interesting. I have an Aldi quite near me - I had a few of their Jo malone candle dupes and loved them.

lost cherry you say? Back I go to fragrantica to check it out....

I smelled all the Tom Ford perfumes a few weeks ago, and thought they were all absolutely rank.

The tobacco one smelled like a man's pub toilet and gave me the boak.

Clearly I'm not Tom Ford material 😁

@Cotswoldmama oooh what is the zara dupe called?

AnneShirleysNewDress · 25/04/2023 20:23

Lost Cherry is gorgeous.

@Cotswoldmama oooh what is the zara dupe called?

I think it's Cherry Smoothie.

Pringleface · 25/04/2023 20:28

I have Tobacco Vanille and it’s quite a heavy, intense scent. I don’t wear it all that often because I find it a bit too much.

My everyday go to is Le Labo The Noir. It’s quite a peppery scent but really wearable.

Cotswoldmama · 25/04/2023 21:13

Yep the Zara dupe is cherry smoothie

Cotswoldmama · 25/04/2023 21:16

Aldi also do a dupe for Jasmine rouge, I don't know how like the original it is but I didn't really like that one.

jelly79 · 25/04/2023 21:44

I love bitter peach

hobbledyhoy · 25/04/2023 21:47

@AnneShirleysNewDress @Cotswoldmama
Excellent thank you, I'll be picking it up this week!

Cotswoldmama · 25/04/2023 22:10

@jelly79 what's the projection and longevity like on the peach? I've had my eye on it!

Cotswoldmama · 25/04/2023 22:11

I think Zara's peach glow is supposed to be a dupe for it!

JulesJules · 25/04/2023 22:15

I bought D1 a Lost Cherry dupe - The Essence Vault no.444, she really likes it.

FeedMeWell · 25/04/2023 22:17

I tried Soleil de Feu last week and really liked it. I love coromandel and it is similar in some ways.

MissLucyEyelesbarrow · 25/04/2023 22:19

I love Tobacco Vanille, but it’s very smoky (appropriately!). I don’t think I’d risk buying it blind - it’s too Marmite.

savvy7 · 25/04/2023 23:14

I've got the Aldi Tobacce Vanille dupe too - it is excellent.

LudicrouslyCapaciousBag · 26/04/2023 06:55

Don’t blind buy! They are too divisive! Can you get a tiny decant from eBay first if you can’t get to a store?

Zoetrope1 · 26/04/2023 11:46

I love tobacco vanille, the dry down is gorgeous. But given how exxy TF fragrances are, highly recommend getting a sample first. I’ve had good experiences with Fragrance Samples UK.
