Tabac Imperial

Tobacco leads in Tabac Imperial, a woody fragrance from Versace composed by Marie Salamagne and released in 2021. Everyone who describes it calls it woody; a third also find it sweet, resinous or aromatic.

The notes are listed without stages, and they centre on the leaf. Tobacco itself brings a dry, slightly sweet, hay-like warmth. Honey adds a thick, golden sweetness beside it, and immortelle a dry, maple-like depth. Benzoin contributes a smooth, vanilla-tinged resin. Underneath, patchouli gives an earthy darkness, cypriol oil a smoky, leathery woodiness, and a general woody base holds the structure together.

Tabac Imperial is a shared fragrance, worn by anyone. Tobacco, honey and resin are classic cold-weather materials, and this is the sort of scent that comes into its own on autumn and winter evenings. It suits someone who likes warm, dry sweetness over woods rather than fresh or floral scents. It is sold in a 100 ml bottle.
