Tobacco
Tobacco in niche perfumery is the smoky-sweet wing built on cured tobacco leaf, pipe tobacco absolute and hay, often composed with vanilla, tonka and leather to read as cooler-weather evening fragrance. The tobacco wing is the closest the catalogue comes to old-world parlour scent and bridges between leather-smoky and ambery gourmand.
Mancera Red Tobacco Intense for the leather-tobacco at niche strength, Nishane Fan Your Flames for the vanilla-tobacco extrait, Spirit of Dubai Meydan for the leather-tobacco oud at the heavier end. Heavy sillage, eight to twelve hours, mostly unisex despite the masculine framing on most bottles. Tobacco at Khrisha covers Mancera, Nishane, Spirit of Dubai, Casamorati and Gritti.
