Immerse yourself in the timeless allure of Tabacco Toscano fragrance. This is a true olfactory journey where the velvety notes of Tuscan tobacco meet a smoky vanilla base. Embark on an aromatic adventure with Tabacco Toscano cologne. From its woody oriental notes to the smoky vanilla base, this fragrance pays homage to the fierce character of Tuscany. The perfumers were inspired by Herba catharinaria, Queen Catherine de' Medici's favorite remedy for migraines. These perfumes belong to the family of warm, woody, oriental scents.
Top notes open with a blend of bright and slightly bitter bergamot and the warm, rich, slightly woody aroma of Tuscan tobacco leaves.
Heart notes transform into dark birch and leather, unveiling smoky, warm notes with a touch of noble bitterness. They are enveloped by warm amber.
Base notes of cedar, guaiac, sandalwood, musk, and vanilla add woody depth, warmth, sweet accords, and softness, leaving a long-lasting velvety trail.
Oh, the story with this fragrance turned out to be strange. Today I received this bottle of Tobacco. I open it - and the scent is completely not Tobacco. I have been to the "Santa Maria Novella" pharmacy in Florence - their flagship store. And I know very well what Tobacco smells like - tobacco, amber, and vanilla. But this scent smells like leather, rubber, smoke... I look at it and don't understand what's going on. Suddenly, I realize that this is the Nostalgia fragrance - it's exactly the same as Tar by Comme des Garcons. "Nostalgia" is an exclusive fragrance from Santa Maria Novella, dedicated to retro cars, it smells like leather, burnt rubber... And it finally dawned on me - the brand mistakenly poured the Nostalgia fragrance into the Tobacco bottle. And I don't even know whether to be happy or amazed. Because Nostalgia is indeed a rare fragrance... This happens in production, I remember even Terence had such a situation when they mixed up the scents.
