What does Tabac Mystique smell like?

Voters rate both its longevity and its sillage as good, with longevity slightly ahead. The number of votes is small, so this impression is tentative. It reads as unisex, suiting men and women alike.

The scent moves along as one piece: tobacco, tobacco absolute and honey build a sweet, creamy base, brightened by orange and citrus notes. Ylang-ylang, frangipani and white gingerlily add a soft floral touch, while Peru balsam, styrax and vanilla bring a resinous, gourmand warmth. Green and spicy accords round it out with a fougère feel.
