Tobacco Absolute

Tobacco Absolute from Molton Brown, released in 2015 as a masculine fragrance, is a woody tobacco scent with a bright citrus lift. Everyone who describes it calls it woody and citrus, and about half also notice spice, aromatic herbs, amber and leather.

Grapefruit and bergamot open it with a sharp, juicy freshness, while elemi adds a lemony, peppery resin. Nutmeg brings a warm, soft spice. The heart is tobacco, dry and honeyed, like cured leaves, supported by palisander rosewood, which adds a smooth, slightly floral woodiness. The base is warmer, with leather giving a polished texture, cedar a dry woodiness and Peru balsam a sweet, vanilla-like resin.

It suits men who want a tobacco fragrance that stays fresh rather than heavy. The citrus top makes it wearable during the day and at the office, while the tobacco, leather and balsam give enough warmth for autumn and winter evenings. Those who like clean, citrus-lifted tobacco and leather scents should find it a versatile option.
