By note
Tobacco in perfumery smells of the dried leaf, not of smoke: sweet, warm and slightly honeyed, like an unlit cigar or a pipe pouch. It is usually paired with vanilla, spices or leather.
It is a cold-weather note with a lot of character. These are the tobacco fragrances in our catalog.
How we picked. We took every fragrance in our catalog that lists tobacco among its notes and ordered them by how long they last and how many occasions they cover. The list shows up to 10. Prices are typical US retail prices and may differ at checkout.
