What does Tobacco Mandarin smell like?

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick fall and winter, and it leans towards evenings and nights out. Voters call it masculine more often than feminine, though a fair share see it as feminine.

The top opens with mandarin orange, coriander seed and cumin, where fruity sweetness meets spice. In the heart, tobacco, leather and labdanum turn it smoky and leathery. The base of frankincense, oud and sandalwood leaves a resinous, woody finish. Emir Spicy Tobacco and The Dua Brand Tabacum de Mandarino have a close profile.
