What Is ALT Fragrances Nicotianna a Dupe Of?

The original behind ALT Fragrances Nicotianna is Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille. It is ALT’s clone of that scent, with tobacco, vanilla, cacao and dried fruit as the useful starting point for a comparison. Here is what connects the two and what we would pay attention to when choosing between them.

What connects the two

ALT’s chart puts tobacco leaf and spices above vanilla, tonka, tobacco flower and cacao, with woods and a dry-fruit accord underneath. That gives you several things to compare beyond vanilla sweetness. We would focus on how the tobacco, fruit and softer gourmand notes work together.

How do their notes compare?

ALT lists a top, middle and base structure for this scent. Its listed notes include Tobacco Leaf, Spices, Vanilla, Tonka Bean, Tobacco Flower, Cacao and Woods. That gives you a few specific notes to look for in a sample.

Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille lists Tobacco Leaf, Spicy Notes, Vanilla, Cacao, Tonka Bean, Tobacco Blossom and Dried Fruits among its notes. You can see the complete profiles above, with each scent’s own labels and structure. A note list describes the idea; it does not tell you the proportions or guarantee that two fragrances develop the same way.

What would we compare on skin?

Check the tobacco beside vanilla and cacao, then compare the dried-fruit impression. We would give the wood and spice side time to settle before choosing a bottle.

Which one should you choose?

For a purchase, think about what you want from this pairing: ALT’s take on tobacco, vanilla, cacao and dried fruit, or the original fragrance itself. Then compare the actual bottle sizes and current retailer terms. We’d give a sample time to develop before committing to a larger bottle, especially if the balance between the fresher and sweeter notes is what matters to you.
