    jes007,
    Tabac soap and cream have a hearty fragrance. It's clean and soapy with much depth. Some like the fragrance and some not. Most, however, don't deny Tabac's quality for lather, cushion and glide.

    I've never tried it yet I get this thought that it may have tobacco scents to it ???

    Great soap and just tried the cream this morning, some adjustments to the cream as it needs more than a almond daub to mix a rich protective lather, but it worked out great. I love Tabac, also the lasting scent gets a lot of admires if you use the Tabac after shave...this soap will always be in my rotation.

    I found the scent too interesting to even use once. I bought a tube of this and promptly donated it to the landfill. I have no idea how it lathers. I couldn't get that far with it. I was worried the scent would linger on my brush. LOL

    Yea, the scent of Tabac is a tad on the strong side but if you can get past that it has other properties that make it a really great soap. I am starting to like it more than DR Harris or MWF. Yea, the scent does linger on the brush for a bit too.

    Yes, tobacco in there. Tabac is french for tobacco.

    It was one of the first soaps I bought, that and MWF. I've Uber'd Tabac soap and Tabac cream w/ Glycerin. Not that it needs it. They're great performers on their own. Mixing them gives you a lather explosion, and a real nice consistency.

    Big fan of the cream here, one of my favorites for performance, and yes, that heavenly scent. Apparently, it's another one of those YMMV things, like Lilac Vegetal (which I have yet to try). You either love it or you hate it.
