Tabac Blond Parfum

Created by Ernest Daltroff for Caron in 1919, Tabac Blond Parfum is a feminine extrait with a long history. Woody and floral accords lead in equal measure, with leather, musk, sweetness and citrus in support.

Lime gives a brief, sharp brightness before carnation and ylang-ylang bring a spicy, clove-like and creamy floral heart. Iris adds a soft, powdery, rooty elegance. Leather is the signature, dry and slightly smoky, evoking fine gloves and a well-worn handbag. In the base, cedar, vetiver and patchouli give an earthy woodiness, softened by vanilla and musk.

Its extrait concentration suits close, intimate wear, and it is a natural fit for autumn and winter, evenings and formal occasions. It is held in very high regard by those who know it, and will appeal to anyone interested in vintage-style perfumery, leather scents and powdery florals with a distinctly classic character.
