What does Hindi Tabac smell like?

The top notes bring damask rose, pink pepper and mandarin orange, with bergamot and key lime keeping the opening bright. The heart moves to blackcurrant, tuberose and hay, with Bulgarian rose carrying the floral line. The base leans on Indian sandalwood, myrrh, patchouli and tobacco, and the accords read spicy, resinous, earthy and smoky.

Voters find the longevity strong and the sillage good. Most pick fall and winter, and evening and leisure wear lead the occasions. It is voted masculine most often, followed by classic. L'Artisan Parfumeur Al Oudh and Dunhill Arabian Desert have a close profile.
