Tabac Rose, from BDK Parfums was released in 2020. The perfumer behind this creation is Julien Rasquinet. It has the top notes of Lemon, Pink Pepper, and Plum, middle notes of Cinnamon, Dark Chocolate, and Rose, and base notes of Labdanum, Patchouli, and Tobacco.
Nice mellow potent Rose in the opening, quite sweet and jammy because of the plum and chocolate. Definitely goes to the gourmand side but the overall aroma is very subtle. Great scent for the wintertime but it's not suffocating even in summertime. Tobacco is just a hint here. The main reasons why I don’t need a full bottle of this is that the mind-blowing Rose disappears really quickly after the opening like Plum as well and after 15 minutes this is just a skin scent for me and I smell just vanilla with a little hint of sweet chocolate. If you want a long lasting version from this scent profile I think PENHALIGON’S CAIRO or MATIERE PREMIER’S RADICAL ROSE are better choices - plum/chocolate/rose is delicious anyway in Tabac Rose. Leathery undertones can be found in Radical Rose and in Tabac Rose. I have been testing many this kind of scents and in Vanilla Rose category I choose CAIRO and without Vanilla Radical Rose. Dusita’s Rosarine is amazing as well (with Vanilla). Thank you for reading and I would appreciate a lot if you will follow my IG @ninamariah_perfumes
