Thread: Tabac Afershave

gugi, that is a good point, I now collect certain guns that 20 yrs ago I didnt like and said I would never own. I'll put the Tabac away for a while.

Gugi has a point. The first time I tried Tabac soap based on tons of positive recommendations, I smelled it and thought "they must be kidding" - I instantly thought '70s, Carter administration, gold chains, polyester shirts, Playboy, and disco. I put it away.

After a few months, I picked it back up again. It really grew on me, and it's a top-tier soap. Liked it so much, I bought a big bottle of the AS. It's really a clean, floral, classic, masculine scent, if not abused. Germany's answer to Old Spice.

I used to despise Aqua Velva too, and have since ended up using it every day...sparingly. I also like high-end colognes (Creed, Serge Lutens, Guerlain, etc.), so it's not a drug-store-scent fetish. But these old scents are classics for good reason, generation after generation. Certainly don't wear what you don't like, but maybe give Tabac another chance in the future.

Just got a stick of irisch moos. Lathers just like tabac but smells a lot better. As far as i no they are made by the same company. Moos is hard to get but it was well worht the wait.

This actually kind of makes me look forward to my first tub of Tabac which is coming my way. Might not be an everyday thing, but sometimes bad is just good.

Woohoo, my first post!

Hi Hillie, Welcome to the forum.

Dont worry it seems there are more people who like Tabac then ones who dont. I thought the AS was a lot stronger than the shave soap.

Im a bit of a fan

Hi Mike, a late thanks for the welcome.

In the mean time, I received the Tabac and the first time I opened it I thought: "Oh man. It reminds me of grandma". Some strange connection. The second time "Hmmm, not so bad". Now I wonder why I bought so many different soaps, because I do dig the Tabac. The other ones I have are quite promising too.

So now I'm thinking about picking up a Tabac AS as well, just for the fun of it.

I love Tabac. It reminds me of clubbing in the 70s and the 80s.

I just cant do it, I sniffed it again and that smell is sickining.
