Café Cabanel vs Tobacco Vanille

The r/fragrance community views Teo Cabanel as an underrated, quality niche brand with well-crafted gourmand fragrances that offer complexity and appeal. While praised for their fragrances and boutique experience, the limited retail presence and selective note development means they remain a niche discovery rather than a widely celebrated house.

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.
