A rich, vintage-inspired tobacco fragrance that evokes the timeless elegance of a classic Cuban cigar lounge. The opening is bold and assertive, with a sharp blend of citrusy mandarin, bold caraway, and aromatic artemisia, followed by a green, herbal intensity from basil and fir. These notes quickly yield to a deep, earthy tobacco core, mingled with warm cinnamon, green patchouli, and a subtle musky oakmoss. The drydown is smooth, warm, and slightly soapy, with sandalwood and vetiver adding depth. Though not overtly sweet, the spiced, balsamic warmth gives a sense of refinement and maturity. The scent is powerful but not overwhelming, with moderate to strong projection and excellent longevity—lasting well beyond eight hours. It’s best suited for cooler seasons, offering a masculine, confident, and refined aura that feels distinctively old-school. While not for casual wear or the young, it resonates deeply with those who appreciate complex, deeply masculine scents and have nostalgia for bold fragrances of the 90s.
