A closer look at Molton Brown Tobacco Absolute EDC
Tobacco Absolute EDC is made by Molton Brown. Its strength is Eau de Cologne.
Tobacco Absolute for work or evenings
It works better in the day than at night, so it is a good pick for work, school and daily wear. Its citrus side keeps it clean and easy.
Longevity on skin
It lasts a medium time, about 3 to 6 hours on skin. Eau de Cologne is the lightest strength, so a shorter wear time is normal. The Spirit Of Dubai Meydan and Dior Fahrenheit last longer, if that matters to you. If you want more hours, Molton Brown Tobacco Absolute lasts about 6 to 9 hours. Base notes like tobacco and peru balsam are the part that stays longest on the skin.
Price and value
The usual price in Europe is about €45. That puts it in the middle price range. It costs less than Maison Crivelli Papyrus Moleculaire and The Spirit Of Dubai Meydan.
Sillage and projection
Projection is medium: people near you can smell it. Three or four sprays give a good balance. The Spirit Of Dubai Meydan and Dior Fahrenheit spread further.
