What does Tabac Rose smell like?

It opens with plum, Turkish rose absolute, chocolate and Madagascan cinnamon, so the fruity, gourmand side comes forward at once. At the heart, jasmine, tuberose and ylang-ylang form a full floral body, with iris adding a powdery softness. The base of vanilla, labdanum and Balkans tobacco absolute turns sweet, while patchouli gives it a woody, smoky floor.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick fall and winter, and see it mostly for evenings and nights out. It leans feminine in the votes, though a fair share call it masculine. Fort & Manlé Charlatan and Bond No. 9 Andy Warhol have a close profile.
