What does Tabacco Toscano (Eau de Cologne) smell like?

It opens with Tuscan tobacco softened by bergamot, then moves into leather, birch and amber at the heart. The base of gaiac wood, sandalwood and cedarwood gives it a woody footing, while vanilla and musk turn it creamy and powdery.

Longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick fall and winter, with spring not far behind. It leans towards leisure, evening and daily wear, and most voters read it as masculine. Bvlgari Bvlgari Black and Amouage Interlude Black Iris have a close profile.
