[@casey5433]

Dude I was wondering when you were gonna cover this, this is my fall staple. I also hated the opening at first, something just smelled unnatural about it. Then I took a nap and about two hours later woke up smelling the dry down. Been in love ever since.

[@catex5452]

last thursday I smelled side effect for the first time and I instantly fell in love with it. Initially wanted to buy a full bottle of rehab but I just had to pull the trigger and get side effect haha On my skin it doesn´t get as sweet and syrup like as you described it though. Luckily... Performance also isn´t that crazy on my skin. I even get better performance with rehab. Everybodys skin is different I guess. Great scent though.

[@hassannasir90]

Rehab vs side effect? Which one to go for?

[@catex5452]

@@hassannasir90 I couldn't decide either and ended up buying both 😅 Imo rehab is more versatile and therefore theoretically better for everyday use. Side effect on the other hand is a bit more "special" which makes me crave it more often though. In the beginning I thought I would wear rehab more often because of the versatility but I ended up using side effect more. I can't say which one is better but maybe that helps you idk.

[@Abcdefk-u]

There's rumour side effect got reformulation😩 Still dont know still worth or not buy side effect new reformulation

[@AbdulAzizAlkendi]

what batch you got? also what about the projection

[@Profumoditoti]

I think I got sold a fake decant from a chump. My decant smells like a freshly sharpened pencil (like when you pull the freshly sharpened pencil out of the pencil sharpener you used at school) but with a little vanilla in the background. It’s not bad, but I don’t think this is the same fragrance you and others have described it to be.

[@clo1187]

Drydown is great first spray is pretty strong in an alcohol heavy way but after an hour or so? You're set!

way better

[@mikiesaeng]

@@TeyanThuny yeah smelled both and initio side effect was intoxicating from first whiff. Tom ford is still amazing tho.

For me, I have both, both are very nice, but Tobacco Vanilla contains cigar tobacco and is not for anyone, and its opening is very difficult for the first 40 minutes, while Side Effect is more acceptable.

[@mikiesaeng]

@ yes, I agree. I ended up getting both, but when tobacco vanilla dries down, I like it just a tad more than side effect.

I just bought it stuff nose btw but I just got i sprayed it on my arm and took a wif and I smell nothing spray more nothing. Then 2 minutes later I smell a little bit of vanila. 5 minutes later I start to smell more of the the spices and flavors it rolls in gently I really love the scent.
