What does Tabac Tabou smell like?

Tobacco and honey lead: the honey brings sweetness while the tobacco adds a dry, smoky edge. Wild herbs give a green freshness, and immortelle and narcissus draw a floral, slightly earthy background. The sensual skin accord adds an animal, leathery warmth.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick autumn, then winter, and evening and night-out wear lead the occasions. Voters read it as mostly masculine and classic, though a good number call it feminine. Mad et Len Vetyver Bucolique and Pekji Zeybek have a close profile.
