Tabac Noir, a composition of great generosity... 

Because Tabac Noir Eau de Parfum is an extraordinarily generous composition. 

Composed of leather, honey and notes of dry hay, Balkan tobacco absolute is a multi-faceted ingredient. To resist it, Jean Jack proposes a dark woody note of papyrus warmth and the smoky effects of cedar wood. 

Here is a description of the olfactory composition of Tabac Noir by Caron : 

Top notes: 

"The fragrance opens with notes of Bulgarian sylvan tobacco and Madagascar pepper. These initial notes bring an intense, spicy entry to the fragrance, evoking the warmth and complexity of tobacco. 

Heart notes: 

At the heart of the composition, tobacco notes take center stage. This note is rich, warm and slightly sweet. It is accompanied by nuances of papyrus, rockrose and Indonesian patchouli leaf. These notes add a woody, earthy dimension to the fragrance, creating a sophisticated, bewitching character. 

Base notes: 

Base notes include gourmand accords of honey and tonka bean, as well as woody notes of cedar and vanilla sweetness. Honey and tonka bean bring a sweet, comforting sweetness, while cedar adds a subtle woody dimension to the composition. Vanilla adds a touch of warmth and indulgence, creating an enveloping, memorable trail.  

Tabac Noir, a blend of power and sensuality...

It's a spicy oriental composition suitable for those seeking a rich, sensual fragrance for special occasions. Caron's "Tabac Noir" is ideal for those who want to leave a memorable impression of the depth and seductiveness of tobacco, with spicy, woody and gourmand notes that blend harmoniously to create an unforgettable olfactory experience.
