Sweet · Gourmand · Spicy
Phaedon Tabac Rouge / Turkish Blend pairs Turkish tobacco absolute with honey, cinnamon and ginger in a sweet, spicy unisex scent.
Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good. Most voters pick winter and fall, spring comes well behind and summer is rarely chosen. It leans towards evenings and nights out, and also works for leisure time. Voters read it as somewhat more masculine, though a fair number call it feminine.
The notes read as one whole rather than in stages: honey and cinnamon bring sweetness and ginger adds spice to the smoky body of the tobacco. Frankincense and Siam benzoin give a resinous, woody warmth, which musk and powdery notes soften. The overall impression is gourmand and oriental.
