    Default Tabac AS

    I went shopping in Aachen (Germany) and brought home some nice stuff.
    - Speick AS (100ml)
    - Pitralon Classic (100ml)
    - Tabac (300ml)
    - Old Spice (250ml)
    - Hatrick (200ml)
    - Irish Moos (150ml)

    But boy, is this Tabac potent! I used it as well some years ago but I forgot how strong the stuff is.
    I used as much as I would with AV or Speick.
    I'm gonna use it more as a cologne from now on.
    And there is a cologne and even an EdT? Now that will have a large scent radius.
    Next time I visit Alberta and/or British Colombia I'm gonna wear the EdT to warn the bears instead of making noise on the track.

    yep - tabac makes soap, cream, AS, cologne, and edt

    (though be aware the edt smells more floral than the rest of them)

    But then, out of the blue I reacted fiercely to this deo to the point that it really burned. The skin would lift like on a mosquito bite on the entire armpit area and it turned completely red.
    I really felt bad because I have not found any decent deo that could replace Tabac.
    Although Nivea Silver Protect is quite good as well.

    But to remain on topic. I knew they have an entire range but I was just wondering how strong the EdT and cologne must be if the AS is already this strong.
    In my opinion they made the AS a bit too strong. The AS should be the cologne.

    To my nose, the EdC is quite different in scent. I get a nice blast of neroli (or pettigrain, or both), something absent from the a/s. Regardless of your preference, at around $20 for a 300ml jug, these products are a great bargain!

    The scent is strong at first, but is does calm down very quickly, just giving you a nice clean soapy scent up close. I don't use so much as I would with some others, but it won't punch your co-workers in the nose, if you know what I mean.
