What does Tabac Libre smell like?

Most voters recommend autumn and winter, and it also suits spring; summer is the least chosen season. It leans towards evenings and nights out, and works for leisure too. Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters read it as masculine, though a fair number find it feminine.

It opens with white cognac, cardamom, coffee and tobacco, with rum and Greek saffron alongside. The heart brings plum, violet, raspberry and Bulgarian tobacco absolute, a sweet, fruity floral note. In the base, sandalwood, patchouli, tonka bean and oakmoss give it a woody, earthy, leathery footing.
