What does Tabac Aurea smell like?

Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, and it is suggested most for evenings and nights out, though it also works for leisure. Voters read it as more masculine, with a sizeable share finding it feminine.

Tobacco, leather and labdanum lead; amber and vanilla sweeten them, while sandalwood and cedar lay a woody base. Patchouli and vetiver add an earthy edge. Fruity and spicy accents stay in the background of the sweetness. Tom Ford Tobacco Oud Intense and Sospiro Misterioso have a close profile.
