Not the most "special" tobacco fragrance per se, but my god is it smooth. Volutes Eau de Parfum is one of those fragrances that I feel really shines in the air. On close inspection, the iris kind of overpowers all the other notes, which makes me feel very anosmic. But the sillage - oh my god. It is a nuanced spicy tobacco, not overly sweet or cloying, the perfect amount of dryness and a touch of spice (I would like to say ginger?) with a honey touch that feels magical in the autumn breeze or warmer winter days. Not as magical as Volutes EDT but an great piece from Diptyque nonetheless.

The glitterati of a past time. Expensive decor and opulent garments tailored from heavy luxury textiles. Gentle-smokey with sweet warm undernotes. A scent that I personally love for daydreaming.
