My friends, you have got to try this amazing shave soap, if you have not already tried it. It lathers like a dream. It has an amazing scent that I find to be great. The lather is so easy, as to be almost effortless. The cushion and slickness rates with the best that is out there. If you have have not tried it, I strongly suggest you pick up a puck and try it. Definitely, one of the top 5 soaps in my arsenal now. I can't believe I waited so long to try it. If you have tried it, please let me know your thoughts. If you have not tried it and order some, please let me know your thoughts. Awesome soap!!!

Everything you wrote is 100% on target. I love the stuff, but haven't used it in almost a year because I'm trying to use up lesser performing soaps and orphan soaps. That requires mindlessly sticking to the goal and not using what's available in the entire cabinet.
It's been written that the scent is something you love or not, but I'm scent sensitive and I like the scent. I suppose most scents could be described that way.

Greetings
I agree fully. Tabac is a wonderful soap and I like the scent too, I consider Tabac the second best performer out of all the soaps I have tried beaten only by a short head by Speick.
Regards Dick.

Couldn't agree more.Even though I usually use vintage soaps I try to use Tabac at least once or twice a month, and when I do I don't use any aftershave so I can enjoy the lingering scent.

Good question Alan. So you noticed that no one tried to describe it. There's a reason no one did. Personally I've often though about the scent and what it is has always eluded me.
I'm smelling it now here at the keyboard. It's definitely not a light smell, it's heavy. Maybe a undertone of powder, but the primary scent... Maybe I'd describe it as spicy, but not at all like my Bay Rum. Mix it with the scent of an ancient room with old leather furniture. That's all I have. It's difficult to describe.

I find it impossible to describe scents.

It smells a lot like Tabac shave cream. In all seriousness, I too find it near impossible to describe scents.

OK, thanks guys, I'm considering trying it but just wanted to be sure it doesn't have that cabbagey old tobacco smell.

Tabac has a strong patchouli scent. That is a kind of pipe tobacco scent. But I tend to describe it as sort of an incense smell. Reminds me of my college days in the 60's and my pipe smoking days. I love it and it is my co-favorite shave soap. The other I love is of course MWF.

Thanks Bryce. I'm going to try it. I'm thinking leather, pipe tobacco; might smell like Latakia. I pretty much try to stick to vintage soaps but in this case I may order the cream.

Well after putting off using this I've now placed it in the top of my rotation.I'll use it today by jove!The tobacco smell is mild to me and smells slightly like good Cuban leaf still in the bale, light powder and fresh clean soapy scent.World class soap.

I have been saying that I am going to try this. Does the after shave have the same scent?
