What does Tobacco Sense smell like?

It opens with green cardamom, lavender and Calabrian bergamot, a clean, aromatic start. In the heart, saffron, Indonesian tobacco and frankincense take over, turning it sweeter, resinous and smoky. In the base, woody notes, patchouli and amber soften the leathery edge and leave a warm footing.

Longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick autumn and winter, with spring not far behind and summer rarely chosen. It is named most often for evenings and nights out, and it also works for leisure time. Most voters read it as masculine, though it is meant for anyone. Berlin Leder 6·9 and Velvet Desert Oud have a close profile.
