What does Tobacco Rose smell like?

The scent is built around rose: Bulgarian rose and May rose sit at the centre, while geranium pulls the floral side toward green. Oakmoss and French hay add an earthy, faintly smoky depth, and beeswax, ambergris and musk soften the sweetness, leaving a spicy, oriental warmth.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick fall, followed by spring and winter, and it leans toward evenings and nights out. Feminine and masculine votes are almost equal, so it sits truly in between. Jovoy Psychédélique and Kilian Incense Oud have a close profile.
