What does Tabac Noir smell like?

The scent moves as one piece: honey and vanilla bring the sweetness, Madagascar pepper adds spice, and Balkans tobacco absolute with Indonesian patchouli lays down a woody, earthy, smoky base. Labdanum adds a resinous, slightly leathery warmth.

Most voters find its longevity strong and its sillage good. Fall and winter get the most votes, and it leans towards evenings and nights out. Voters read it as somewhat more masculine, though it wears comfortably as a unisex scent.
