What does Tabac Exquis smell like?

Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, with evenings and nights out leading and leisure wear close behind. Voters read it as slightly more feminine, though a good share call it masculine, so it sits comfortably on either side.

Balkans tobacco absolute, cocoa absolute and chocolate run together, while Ceylonese cinnamon adds spice and Tonka bean and Siam benzoin bring sweetness and a creamy softness. Orris root resinoid gives a powdery note, labdanum and myrrh a resinous one, and Moroccan jasmine absolute a floral touch.
