What does Tabac Original Black Edition smell like?

Black pepper, cedar leaf and citrus notes open it bright and sharp. In the heart sit frankincense, Clearwood™ and Provençal lavender; in the base, cedarwood and sandalwood build the dry woody ground while cypriol strengthens the smoky side. Sweet and creamy accords soften that dryness, and a synthetic sheen stays in the background.

Longevity and sillage are both moderate. Most voters pick spring, autumn and winter, with summer chosen less often. It leans towards daily, leisure and business wear, and its character reads masculine and classic. Ostens Impression Cashmeran Velvet and Zadig & Voltaire This Is Him! have a close profile.
