Review

The lyrics describe nostalgic sensory memories of a romantic relationship through olfactory imagery - tobacco and Chanel perfume evoke the lover's skin, while honey and coffee symbolize the bittersweet taste of their kisses. It portrays love as a lingering presence through physical remnants rather than direct interaction.

The song creates wistful intimacy through tactile descriptions of absent touch and vanished intimacy. Bacilos builds emotional resonance by anchoring abstract longing in concrete smells/tastes, using café atmospheres and urban settings as backdrops for solitary reminiscence about a departed lover.

No explicit content appears in the cited lyrics. The tone blends melancholy over lost love with sensual appreciation of lingering memories, creating a mature but non-graphic reflection on post-relationship saudade (nostalgic yearning).

The Youtube music video for Tabaco y Chanel by Bacilos is a visual poem weaving nostalgia and memory through evocative imagery. It opens with an elderly man gazing at a woman’s portrait in a frame, later storing it in a suitcase—a metaphor for memories cherished yet confined to the past—while a model in a flowing dress wanders through open fields with a wistful gaze, embodying the lost love described in the lyrics ("A scent of tobacco and Chanel / reminds me of her skin’s smell"). The band performs their instruments in the same rural landscape, with the lead singer channeling the song’s emotion, interspersed with black-and-white photos of trains and goodbyes that emphasize themes of time and distance. Objects like scattered coffee beans, a steaming cup, and an old silver lighter appear as nods to the verses ("a blend of honey and coffee / reminds me of her kisses’ taste"), adding sensory layers to the narrative. The video closes with the model seated holding a rose—symbolizing love that never bloomed yet endures—and the old man walking away with his suitcase, suggesting that some memories, like scents of tobacco and Chanel, are eternal in their transience. Shots of coffee beans and other tactile elements transform the lyrics’ sensory descriptions into an intimate, tangible visual experience..
