Mäurer & Wirtz Tabac Original Eau de Toilette 30ml is the iconic German house's classic barbershop fragrance for men, originally launched in 1959 and a staple of European men's grooming for generations. The composition is a refined aromatic-fougère built around bergamot, neroli, lavender and a warm musk-and-sandalwood base — quietly grown-up, recognisable and timelessly masculine.

Character
Tabac Original opens with a fresh-aromatic burst of bergamot, neroli, lemon and petitgrain, lifted by a touch of pepper. The heart unfolds into the recognisable classic fougère mid of chamomile, lavender, oak and geranium, before the dry-down rounds out into a warm base of musk, sandalwood, vetiver, carnation and ambergris. The result is a quietly grown-up, refined masculine signature in the tradition of European barbershop fragrances.
Who it's for
This fragrance suits men who like classic, refined masculine fragrances with serious heritage — particularly fans of European barbershop scents and traditional men's grooming. It's a strong daily wear, evening reach and an enduringly thoughtful gift for fathers, grandfathers and brothers. The 30ml format makes it a friendly entry-point bottle for those discovering Tabac for the first time.
