Tobacco
AromaticLong longevity
Tobacco in perfumery is usually tobacco absolute, extracted from cured tobacco leaves. It smells of dried hay, honey, and wood smoke — sweet without being gourmand, smoky without being ashy. It's the backbone of the 'tobacco gourmand' family (Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille, Maison Margiela Jazz Club) and a fixture of cold-weather masculine compositions.
