What does Wild Tobacco smell like?

It opens with clary sage and clove, spicy and slightly green. In the heart, cedarwood and tobacco build a woody, smoky body. The base of castoreum, labdanum and tonka bean turns it animalic, resinous and sweetly warm, while the floral and earthy tones stay in the background.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick fall and winter, and it is chosen more for evenings and nights out. It reads mostly masculine, though a sizeable share of votes call it feminine. Savour Fougère Sombre and Andrea Maack Coven have a close profile.
