Mäurer & Wirtz Tabac Original Eau de Cologne 100ml is one of the longest-running men's grooming classics in the world — created in 1959 by the German fragrance house Mäurer & Wirtz and still in continuous production today. A polished aromatic-fougère that has come to define the "classic German barbershop" scent, it opens with petitgrain, bergamot, pepper, lemon and neroli, develops through a heart of lavender, chamomile and geranium, and settles onto a warm base of sandalwood, vetiver, amber, musk and a soft tobacco accent.

Who it's for
Tabac Original suits men who like classical barbershop colognes — those drawn to lavender, oakmoss and a soft tobacco-warm drydown over modern fresh-aquatics or sweet gourmands. It is at its best in autumn and winter, ideal for office, evenings and smart-casual settings, and represents excellent value for one of the longest-running men's classics still in production.
How to use
- Hold the bottle around 15 cm from the skin.
- Spray onto pulse points — wrists, neck, chest.
- Three to four sprays balance presence and longevity for the eau de cologne concentration.
- Reapply through the day; eau de cologne is a deliberately light strength meant to be revisited.
