I love Tabac too though I do find the scent a little bit cloying. Some say there is a hint of tobacco there but I find it more of a floral scent. I looked it up online and the scent is described as fougere which i believe is fern scent with lavender. Anyway I like it because the performance of the lather is so good so can put up with the smell. Other cheap but good soaps i like are Prorasso Menthol and the humble Arko shaving stick. Tcheon Fung Sing is brilliatnt to but hard to get here. If you ever go to Italy stock up.
Depending on what you are after there are quite a few TFS soaps available in the UK for a good price, eg the TFS Almond/RasoZero from Connaught which is around £10/12 for a 1kg.
I wasn't massively enthusiastic about the Tabac scent to begin with, but I've grown used to it. In addition, with the wrapper off the shaving stick seems to lose quite a bit of it's scent with time.
