By the editors · 2 min readTobacco dominates from the first breath, delivering a dry, cured-leaf richness that feels matte rather than honeyed. Patchouli enters quickly, adding an earthy, slightly camphorous edge that keeps the tobacco from turning sweet, while also introducing a subtle cocoa-like dustiness that softens the leaf’s tannic bite. Tonka bean in the base supplies a restrained almond-coumarin warmth, never frosting the composition but instead stretching the tobacco’s hay-like facets across several hours. Cedar appears as a clean, pencil-shave wood note that sharpens the tobacco-patchouli core, preventing any creamy collapse, and a quiet musk settles everything against skin with a suede-like hush. Projection stays within arm’s length, making it office-safe in cool weather, yet the accord retains enough body to read dressed-up after dark.
