Tobacco

It hits with the immediate weight of cured tobacco leaf, quickly rounded out by the dark, jammy sweetness of plum and a sharp ginger snap. Cloves add a dry, dusty heat that pulls the scent into a classic oriental amber territory. As it settles on the skin, a rich base of tonka bean and benzoin creates a thick, resinous hum, while vetiver and cedar provide a structural, woody backbone. The projection is steady and authoritative, clinging to fabrics for hours with a lingering trail of vanilla-dusted smoke and earth.
