Tabac Original Craftsman by Maurer & Wirtz Cologne. Sharp and confident yet charmingly balanced, Tabac Original Craftsman is a spicy-citrus cologne enhanced by accords of aromatic herbs, clean florals and spice. The opening refreshes and invigorates with a bright blend of tart-sweet grapefruit, bergamot and piquant black pepper. Crisply herbal florals of lavender and peppery geranium merge with almond nuances of tonka bean at the heart. A smooth, enveloping base of vetiver, patchouli and supple leather leaves a clean masculine trail that’s perfect for casual wear. This everyday cologne was first released by Maurer & Wirtz in 2019.
First established as a soap maker in 1854, this old fragrance house was founded in the small town of Stolberg, Germany by Michael Maurer and stepson Andreas Wirtz. The original Tabac scent was released in 1959, and its extreme popularity has led to numerous variations over the decades, including the spicy wood cologne Extreme (1990), the citrus floral Individuelle (1993), the fresh woody Suggestion (1997) and the fresh citrus Tabac Sport (2003).
