Vanille de Tabac Shaving Soap
Vanille de Tabac is formulated based on TF Tobacco Vanille but represents a unique variation distinct from the original fragrance.
Vanille de Tabac is a smooth oriental, opening immediately with opulent essences of tob*cco leaf and aromatic spice notes. The heart unfolds with creamy tonka bean, tob*cco flower, vanilla and cocoa and finishes with dry fruit accord enriched with sweet wood sap.
Notes: Tob*cco leaf, ginger, spice notes, tonka bean, cocoa, fruit accord.
We are proud to present Vanille de Tabac in our new custom glass jars, embossed with our logo and packaged in our custom black tubed boxes, each hand-stamped with our wax seal. Each jar is generously filled with 5 ounces of our all-new Ultima 2 shaving soap.
Due to the increased weight of the glass jar and packaging, shipping costs may be slightly higher than with our previous packaging.

Just received my order today of the new Ultima 2 Vanille de tabac and opened the package. I noticed the top of soap is an even dark brown and smells very similar to the Kazen 2 soap (I still have 2 containers to compare with). The bottom of the glass containers shows a cream-colored soap, will it lack the sent of the dark brown portion? Will it lather as well? Was this a bad pour? I don't remember the Kazen 2 soap having this great of a color variation. Please let me know.
Hi David,
Thank you for your feedback. What you're seeing is perfectly normal and actually quite common with soaps containing vanillin. The darker color is simply the result of natural oxidation, which can occur unevenly throughout the soap. We don't use artificial colorants or stabilizers to mask this natural process.
The color variation has no effect on the soap's performance, lather, or quality. Your Vanille de Tabac should perform just as well as any of our other Ultima 2 soaps.
We actually address this very question on our FAQ page at https://aegrooming.com/pages/frequently-asked-questions.
I hope this clears things up, and please don't hesitate to reach out to us directly if you ever have questions or concerns. We're always happy to help.
Warm regards,
Peter
A must have rich and sweet tobacco scent.
A&E is my gold standard. The one product I compare all other soaps against. I’ve been shaving for over fifty years. This soap in all its variants is a pleasure to use an absolute top shelf product!!
A & E shaving soaps are fantastic, I have been using them for a few years now! I love the scents, and the formulations. I get a great shave, and my skin is well protected. The Vanille de Tabac is my favorite scent, but there are others I really like as well. I will keep coming back.
First off I would like to shoutout @bobandelliothismustache for mentioning this company! I have searched for products from Barbasol to Cremo. Trying to find something that helps my skin irritation and razor bumps, and then I found this product. This stuff is outstanding! It smells amazing and the scent last around a day to a day and a half. It also leaves my skin feeling like smooth leather which has reduced my skin irritation and razor bumps. It also pairs really well its after shave. If I could give 6 stars for this product I would. This company has my business from now on and will spread the word!
Great performance but I didn’t really get tobacco and vanilla from the performance but maybe that’s just me ?
I can probably count on one hand the number of times that I have found a product that is a whole tier above everything else. Whether that is an ice cream flavor or type of burger I like, or even a type of beer, but I cannot recall many. However, every now and then a product comes along that just blows everything else out of the water. Sure the other five shave soaps that I got in the trial pack from Maggards all did smell nice, but Vanille de Tabac? Vanille de Tabac doesn't smell 'nice'! It invites you in with the warmest sense of gentle spice that wraps you up in gentle confort, of delicious hints of rich tobacco leaf as if smelled from a warm dimly lit room by the fire, and wonderful memories of vanilla spice from your mother's kitchen when you were a child. The whole experience feels the same as the end of Ratatouille when Anton Ego is blown away by the ratatouille that evokes powerful memories of his childhood before snapping back to reality. Yes you can shop for anything else if you simply want 'nice', but Vanille de Tabac will bring your senses to a whole new league in something that is wholly unfair to its competition!
Welcome to the finer things in life: mahogany desk, Cuban cigar, a tumbler of 18-year scotch, and Vanille de Tabac lathered generously on your cheeks. The scent opens with warm vanilla, but quickly unfolds into a velvety swirl of cured tobacco and quiet authority. It doesnt shoutit speaks with a deep, resonant baritone and impeccable posture. Ultima base? Smooth like silk pajamas on a leather sofa. For the gentleman who knows his worth... and shaves accordingly.
This scent is soooo intoxicatingthe vanilla and tobacco blend is amazing. As a vanilla and tobacco fan this is must have in a wet shavers collection.
This is a fascinating scent. While I've never smelled the Tom Ford that it's based off, I do have a cologne that's based on Ford's Tobacco Vanile and it's very vanilla in scent. This A&E scent is much more tobacco with a nice blend of spices, chocolate and vanilla.The tobacco is not the same as Tobacco Road. Toned down sweetness and I'm glad the chocolate scent takes a back seat to the others but is still detectable. This is a dark, subtle and sexy scent and will probably be one my next A&E purchase. (I have a sample from Maggard's.)
Rich, dark, and complex. Such a cool scent that works very well.
Super rich lather that requires minimal preparation. Just soak the brush ring it out throw a splash of water into the container and in like 45 seconds you have a fully formed rich lather ready for shaving. Also the feel of my face after a shave with this stuff is amazing. A truly exceptional product.
