Cigar Rum

Cigar Rum by Strangers Parfumerie is a bold, gourmand tobacco scent centered around rum, dried fruits, and aromatic woodiness, with a surprisingly subtle peppery and salty earthiness from seaweed and resin. It opens with a rich, boozy burst of rum, tobacco, and dried fruits, delivering a straightforward yet atmospheric experience reminiscent of a well-ordered cigar lounge or a wooden pirate ship. The dry down brings a warmly spiced amber and woody base, with a slight soapy quality that some find unremarkable, while others appreciate for its clean, tailored masculinity. The scent performs best in cool weather and is particularly recommended for evening wear, where its subtle sillage and moderate longevity give it a sophisticated, non-invasive presence. It leans toward the masculine but is unisex in vibe, with a quiet elegance that resists the typical booziness or syrupy sweetness found in other tobacco fragrances. Though it lacks depth and intensity for some, it succeeds in resolving its notes without harshness or overwhelming aggression.
