What does Mystery Tobacco smell like?

Ginger and davana open with a spicy, slightly fruity start. In the heart, patchouli and vetiver lay a woody, earthy base. Tobacco absolute and tonka bean absolute lead the base, turning the scent sweeter, with a gourmand, resinous warmth.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick fall and winter, and evening and night out are the occasions that lead. Most voters read it as masculine, though a fair number find it feminine. Pacifica Tibetan Mountain Temple and Lattafa Pride Art of Arabia III have a close profile.
