What does Tobacco Absolute (Eau de Toilette) smell like?

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick fall and spring, and daily wear, leisure and business settings lead the occasions. Most voters read it as masculine, though it is made as a unisex fragrance.

Elemi resin, bergamot and Argentinean grapefruit give a fresh, green citrus start. At the heart, nutmeg, rosewood and cedarwood add a spicy, woody turn. The base warms with Peru balsam and musk, while tobacco and leather bring out the smoky, earthy side. Olfactive Studio Autoportrait and Halston Z-14 (Cologne) have a close profile.
