That might be me Hando, I got a bottle of Tabac Man EDT and the best description I could give it is "diet Tabac".
I didn't take to it when I got it so I shelved it and I got it out a while back to see if I liked it any better. Again I am still not raving about it but I do retract my earlier statements about it being nothing like Tabac. It is like they have just used some of the lavender but left out whatever it is in Tabac that gives it that distinctive pungency. They are different but you can tell it came from the same brewery if you know what I mean.
So diet Tabac, not bad but too light and sweet for me.
