By the editors · 2 min readTobacco Sublime opens with dry, green tobacco rather than sweet pipe tobacco — slightly bitter, with a raw quality that feels deliberate. The iris heart introduces an unexpected counterpoint: cool, powdery orris that lifts the composition and lends it a formal, almost tailored quality. Patchouli bridges the two worlds — adding dark, earthy heft that sides with the tobacco's austerity over the iris's elegance.
Vanilla and amberwood in the base bring warmth and a degree of sweetness that softens the austere early impression into something more approachable at the skin. The iris-tobacco tension at the core is what makes this composition interesting — Zara landing a fragrance with genuine structural intention rather than just a trending name.
