By the editors · 2 min readA dark, almost brooding tobacco fragrance that opens with an unexpected brightness—black currant and clary sage cutting through before the composition settles into its true character. The heart reveals dusty orris and nutmeg, lending a subtle powdery warmth that keeps the tobacco from feeling overly sweet or gourmand. This is less about smoke and leather than about the dry, papery quality of aged leaves.
The base of tonka and oakmoss adds weight without heaviness, creating something that sits between classic fougère territory and modern woody amber structures. It wears close to the skin after an hour, becoming more intimate than projective. Best suited to cooler weather and those who prefer their tobacco refined rather than raw—a composed take on the note rather than a literal interpretation.
