What does Tabac Blond (Eau de Parfum) smell like?

Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good. Most voters pick fall and winter, spring comes third and summer trails far behind. It leans towards evenings and nights out, and the office gets the fewest votes. Most voters read it as feminine, while some call it masculine or classic.

As a whole it pairs leather, iris and carnation with a floral powderiness. Amber and vanilla soften the sweetness, while vetiver gives it a dry, woody base. Spicy, resinous and faintly smoky animal touches stay in the background.
