What does Cuir Tabac smell like?

Sweet and spicy accords lead; it opens on lavender, tobacco and musk sit in the heart, and patchouli anchors the base. Oriental, woody and resinous tones run alongside animal and earthy touches.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick fall and winter, and very few choose summer. It leans towards evenings and nights out; most voters call it masculine, with a classic feel as well. Sospiro Afgano Puro and Xerjoff Zanzibar / Najaf have a close profile.
