Sacred Tobacco

Extra Virgo · 2022

Spicy · Woody · Animal

Longevity and sillage are both rated strong, and nearly all voters score them high, though the number of votes is small.

Vesta

7.8

Extra Virgo · 2025

Floral · Fruity · Sweet

Spices and clove keep it warm, frankincense, benzoin and Chinese oud carry a resinous, woody depth, and peppermint lightens the heavy texture with a touch of coolness. The few voters so far find both longevity and sillage good, and the overall rating is high, though with so few votes this is only a first impression. The dense, sweet character sits comfortably on anyone. Extra Virgo Florilegium and Anatole Lebreton Bois Lumière have a close profile.

Florilegium

7.5

Extra Virgo · 2025

Floral · Sweet · Spicy

Extra Virgo Florilegium is a unisex fragrance with a floral, sweet core, spiced by resin and smoke and warmed by an animalic edge.

Its dense, warm build suits cooler weather, and it reads comfortably on both men and women. Tuberose absolute and gardenia lead the floral side, while honey, vanilla and beeswax add a creamy sweetness. Spices, rum and Chinese oud pull that sweetness towards a woody, smoky depth, and civet with propolis absolute leaves an animalic, resinous trace. It reads as one dense blend rather than separate layers.

The overall impression is floral and green, sweetened by spicy and smoky tones, powdery and leathery in a chypre frame. Voters find both its longevity and sillage good. It reads equally well on men and women. Its profile is close to Pascal Morabito Or Noir and Caron French Cancan (Eau de Parfum).
