By the editors · 2 min readTobacco leaf appears almost immediately—green and slightly damp, more botanical than sweetened. There's a subtle clash of resinous darkness and milky richness that keeps the opening from settling into predictable territory. Vanilla threads through without dominating, while a whisper of immortelle adds an herbal, almost medicinal edge that prevents the composition from turning gourmand.
As it develops, the tobacco grows warmer and faintly honeyed, though never cloying. The immortelle's fenugreek-like facet becomes more apparent, lending a savory depth that balances the sweetness. Sandalwood provides structure without shouting, and a hint of leather emerges in the dry down—soft and worn rather than aggressive.
This suits someone comfortable with contrasts: sweet but not sugary, warm but not heavy, approachable yet quietly unconventional. It wears close to the skin and feels more introspective than demonstrative.
