Tobacco Fragrance In Perfume
When some people think of tobacco, they think of dirty cigarettes or a cigar, but our tobacco fragrance is more reminiscent of a pipe tobacco. It’s a mellow, woodsy scent like fine pipe tobacco or just cut tobacco leaves, with just a whiff of cherry wood and a tinge of sweetness. Like what you would find a gentleman smoking in his library.
Myself, who doesn’t smoke, is a big fan of tobacco in fragrances. I can’t stop smelling myself when I wear one of my custom fragrances with tobacco in it. It just has such an alluring aroma to it that really adds to the complexity and depth of a custom perfume. There are some great combinations that you can combine to create some great masculine and even feminine custom fragrances. I love tobacco in our custom soy candles as well, even just 2 note combinations such as teak wood and tobacco….or bergamot and tobacco.
For colognes, I love to combine tobacco with birch tar to give it a bit more smokiness, 5% birch tar is plenty. You can then balance that out with some citrus or soft florals. For a more feminine scent you can consider tobacco with rose, vanilla and bergamot, probably just 5% tobacco would do it, but I hear from many women how much they have come to love a little tobacco in their custom perfume recipes.
Below is a list of other fragrances that tend to blend well with tobacco fragrance. Feel free to experiment a little.
Leather, Cinnamon, Bergamot, Oakmoss, Vanilla, Lemon, Tonka Bean, Jasmine, Patchouli, Sandalwood, Coriander, Nag Champa, Lavender, Juniper Berry, Oakwood, Green Cognac
