Lagerfeld for Men

Drakkar Noir

Try Terre d'Hermes, great stuff. Bitter orange, pepper, cedar and vetiver, to me a very dry smell, and it goes well with the tobacco smell.

" His cologne is fantastic. It's musky with an oaky finish like a... lawyer cowboy."

If Condor made an after shave I would buy it and the same applies to St Bruno. My secretary says I smell of pipe and gin so I guess that is my cologne!

skapunk, my girlfriend found some Raw Vanilla for me online. I used to wear it all of the time. It compliments the tobacco instead of covering it up. As some colognes use tobacco as a base note, adding Raw Vanilla does this well also. You used to be able to find it everywhere, but I haven't seen it in store for twenty years. I think she ordered it from Amazon.

I have a bit of a rotation. My choice of fragrance varies based on time of year, occasion, or just what mood I'm in that that particular day. I have quite a few... damn acquisition disorders
My favorites:
Santa Maria Novella: Pot Pourri, Sandolo, Aqua di Cuba, Melagrano, and Tobacco Toscano

Geo F. Trumper: Eucris, Spanish Leather, Sylvester (discontinued), Wild Fern, Curzon

Idole by De Lubin

Knize 10

Maitre Parfumeur et Gantier: Santal Noble, Parfum d'Habit

D.R. Harris: Marlborough, Arlington

No amount of cologne will cover the smell of baccy, and the combination of the two may just make matters worse.
My strategy is to not smoke during the day, especially if I will be seeing clients. While I would love a bowl during my lunch break, not offending a client or prospect is much more important.
And as long as we are discussing scents, I use George F Trumper's Eucris. Very classic, subtle, and a favourite of the great American playwright Tennessee Williams.
