Cigar

Cigar by Rémy Latour is a French accessible fragrance released in 1996 under Parfums Parour, designed as an unabashedly masculine tribute to the culture of tobacco, leather, and the gentleman's ritual of the cigar. The fragrance opens with spiced citrus and a distinct tobacco leaf character before settling into a dry, woody heart and a leathery, resinous base — a composition that was already swimming against the tide of the increasingly synthetic, aquatic masculines that dominated mid-1990s mainstream perfumery. Its straightforward celebration of aromatic warmth and old-fashioned masculinity gave it a cult following among fragrance enthusiasts who felt underserved by mainstream trends. At accessible prices, Cigar delivers genuine tobacco and leather character without demanding niche premiums, making it a reliable entry point for anyone exploring aromatic masculines beyond the freshness consensus. The bottle — shaped loosely to evoke its subject — is as direct as the fragrance itself. Cigar remains a reference for its category.
