Tobacco scent notes

Warm, honeyed, and slightly woody.

Tobacco notes smell of dried leaves, honey and hay rather than smoke. Tobacco absolute and coumarin-rich materials give the warm, sweet, slightly fruity character of a pipe tin or a curing barn.

Tobacco works at the top or in the base and sits well with amber, sandalwood and herbs like laurel. It belongs in fireside candles, beard oils and barbershop-style blends. Pair it with vanilla for a softer, sweeter take.
