What does Signature Tabac (Eau de Parfum) smell like?

The top opens with French lavender, rum, star anise and cognac, giving it a spicy, boozy start. In the heart, honey, tobacco and oud come forward, with fir balsam and cedar laying a woody base. In the base, Bourbon vanilla, tonka bean and black amber sweeten it and settle into a resinous, smoky warmth.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick fall and winter, with nights out and evenings the most chosen moments, and leisure and business also getting votes. It reads masculine and classic. Amouage Opus XIV - Royal Tobacco and Guerlain Tobacco Honey have a close profile.
