Scent Description:

Tobacco Rose opens with a lush trio of roses—Turkish, Bulgarian, and May Rose—layered to create a dense, jammy, almost honeyed floral opening. Quickly, the composition shifts into darker territory: tobacco leaf and hay provide dryness and depth, while subtle spices add warmth and intrigue. The base is where the fragrance becomes bolder, with oakmoss, castoreum, and leather giving an animalic, slightly feral texture, balanced by beeswax and ambergris that lend richness and a faint sweetness. This interplay makes Tobacco Rose a complex floral that avoids being purely romantic; instead, it is dark, dramatic, and earthy, fitting the animalic-chypre style with a strong rose heart.

Performance Details:

• Longevity: 8/10 – Lasts 8–10 hours with noticeable depth into the drydown.

• Sillage: 7/10 – Creates a strong aura in the first few hours before softening.

• Projection: 7/10 – Moderate but noticeable; the rose-tobacco blend carries well.

Papillon Artisan Perfumes Tobacco Rose is a daring reinterpretation of the rose theme—floral yet animalic, romantic yet shadowy. For those who want a rose perfume with character, edge, and depth, it is a striking choice. Note: All products are 100% authentic.
