There are a great many tobacco-themed fragrances out there, so there is no point in listing even the ones that contain some version of the word 'tobacco' in their names. However, the red waves across the rest of the cardboard, which are either lava or water, feel out of place. They come across as too recent to coincide with a 1950s feel yet too retro to be modern, which leaves us with something oddly 1990s. People make home-made absolute from these flowers, which has a deep floral aroma with notes of violet, cloves, spices and dried fruit, however the material is not produced on an industrial scale. From the peppered heart to the sandalwood base, there’s always a slight reminder that this is a man’s fragrance. Presentation and Value For MoneyCoumarin gives tobacco a somewhat sweet hay note (together with benzaldehyde, coumarin creates the very recognizable almond-cherry accord), while macrolactones, mostly pentadecanolide, impart the rather easily perceptible musky tone. Among odorants that shape the scent of tobacco we even find ambroxan and some similar compounds: they impart the amber accord with all its multiple facets to the tobacco scent. Introducing Tabac Nuit, a fragrance for the woman who knows her own mind and won't let anyone tell her what to do. This unique scent is the perfect blend of sweet florals and warm tobacco, creating a bold and captivating aroma that is sure to turn heads. The fragrance comes in a minimalist curved white glass bottle. The stencil-style Tabac logo is centred with the establishing year above and “Original” in red below. It’s decidedly 1950s and its retro vibe looks great on a bathroom shelf. The bottle can come as a splash or atomiser. A splash bottle was chosen for the review and it works exceedingly well. Fragrance comes out drop at a time with decisive shakes, which is easy to control. Unlike most splash bottles, it doesn’t pour liberally. There is a slightly different way to go about it: first they do the initial extraction, then they add a special high boiling solvent and conduct a codistillation resulting in a weakly colored viscous liquid.

In addition to nicotine, tobacco contains other alkaloids, for example, harmine, harmaline and tetrahydroharmine which are monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs), which relates them to certain antidepressants that act in the same way. Historians think that, in the first century BC, Mayans already smoked tobacco during their not so frequent religious ceremonies, but the earliest material evidence of that are images on clay dishes from Guatemala (VII-XI centuries). Tabac Original opens on a characteristically eau de cologne citrus burst that is indeed reminiscent of Mäurer & Witrz’s 4711. Sharp bergamot and lime notes are given a fatty bitterness by the presence of petitgrain. As they evaporate, rich and fatty jasmine notes lead us to the fragrance’s heart. Heart NotesUnfortunately, many may struggle with the heart’s extremely heady bouquet. It lasts for longer than the average fragrance and leaves a viscous sweet trail.

There is also a great number of fantasy fragrances where the tobacco note is sometimes used in a rather unusual context: e.g. Parfum d'Empire Tabac Tabouwith its daffodil-honey accord, plus a tart and burnt note of immortelle; the aniseed-aquatic Tabac Licorii by Maison Incens. Wearing Tabac Nuit is a statement of confidence and self-assurance. It's for the woman who isn't afraid to stand out from the crowd and make her own way in the world. Whether you're at the office, out on the town, or simply running errands, Tabac Nuit will make you feel strong, powerful, and in control of your own destiny. The tobacco absolute is derived from dried fremented tobacco leaves and here it goes basically by the book: first, the leaves are extracted with petroleum ether or hexane (they had also used benzole for the purpose earlier) and the resulting concrete is then extracted by ethanol.
