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

It opens with African frankincense and bergamot, a resinous freshness. Patchouli and sandalwood build a woody heart, and the base of tobacco, vanilla and amber settles into a warm, spicy, gourmand sweetness.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick winter and fall, and it is worn mostly for evenings and nights out, with leisure wear after that. Most voters read it as masculine, though it works as a unisex fragrance. Serge Lutens Ambre Sultan and Histoires de Parfums Irrévérent have a close profile.
