Cigar

Rémy Latour · 1996

Fresh · Fruity · Sweet

Rémy Latour Cigar is a classic-leaning men's fragrance that opens fresh and fruity, then settles into a sweet, spicy, smoky tobacco base. It begins bright and juicy with bergamot, lemon, pear, pineapple and plum. In the heart, basil, nutmeg and jasmine bring spice and a floral touch. The base of tobacco, patchouli and sandalwood leaves an earthy, resinous, woody warmth. Voters find its longevity good and its sillage moderate. Most pick fall, followed by spring and winter, and it leans towards daily and leisure wear, with office and evening use also suggested. Most voters call it masculine, and many also find it classic.

Rémy Latour

Synthetic · Gourmand · Spicy

Rémy Latour Cigar Black Oud is a spicy, woody fragrance for men, pairing a bright opening of Sicilian lemon and Florida tangerine with the warmth of Ceylonese cinnamon and Peru balsam. The citrus in the top gives a lively first impression, then cinnamon and balsam turn it into a spicy, sweetish warmth at the heart. The base leans on amber, benzoin, tonka bean, musk and precious woods, pushing the scent towards gourmand, oriental and smoky territory, with earthy and animal tones in the background. The synthetic accord gives it a smooth, polished feel. Its profile is close to Jean Paul Gaultier Gaultier² and Le Labo Benjoin 19.
