The review
Worth a try. That is where Tobacco Collection Intense Dark lands when you weigh what it costs, what it is made of and how firmly it is matched to Bad Boy.
Zara sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Bad Boy's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Zara publishes, the price per 100ml, and how firmly the match is claimed. How it really smells on skin is what the votes below are for.
What it's built to smell like
What it is chasing: white pepper, bergamot and pink pepper up top, cedarwood and clary sage in the middle, Tonka Bean and cacao underneath — the shape of Carolina Herrera Bad Boy.
Top
- white pepper
- bergamot
- pink pepper
Heart
- cedarwood
- clary sage
Base
- Tonka Bean
- cacao
For the one who likes a peppery, cocoa-dusted edge, opening spicy and bright before drying into a creamy, addictive tonka-and-cacao trail.
