Lethe vs Tobacco Vanille

The r/fragrance community views Goutal and similar niche houses as high-quality fragrance producers with excellent blending techniques. While fragrances like Petite Cherie receive strong praise and nostalgic appreciation, some scents have polarizing qualities that work better for certain individuals or as signature scents for others to enjoy rather than the wearer themselves.

Tobacco Vanille is a highly polarizing fragrance that divides the community. Fans praise its warm vanilla sweetness and longevity, while detractors find the tobacco note too reminiscent of cigarette smoke, particularly if they grew up avoiding secondhand smoke. Performance and tolerance appear to have declined with reported reformulations.
