👃 Olfactive Notes Breakdown

The composition is complex and dense, evolving from a chaotic and spicy opening to a tobacco, vanilla, and wood dry-down:

• Top Notes (Notas de Salida):

  • (Canela, Azafrán, Nuez Moscada, Incienso y Oud Nepalés)

     

• Heart Notes (Notas de Corazón):

  • Tobacco Leaves, Patchouli, and Jasmine: 🚬🌿 The heart reveals the central note: a robust, dry Tobacco, similar to pipe tobacco. Patchouli lends an earthy, dark touch, while Jasmine adds a subtle floral complexity.

  • (Hojas de Tabaco, Pachulí y Jazmín)

• Base Notes (Notas de Fondo):

  • Madagascar Vanilla, Amber, Guaiac Wood, and Vetiver: 🍦🔥 The dry-down is long, sweet, and smoky. Vanilla emerges to sweeten the Tobacco and woods. Vetiver and Sandalwood provide a creamy, smoky base that clings to the skin for hours.

  • (Vainilla de Madagascar, Ámbar, Maderas de Guayaco y Vetiver)
