Tabac Nomade is an aromatic, spicy, sweet scent created for Men and women in 2023 by perfumers Luca Maffei and Antoine Lie.
Review
This scent is fresh and spicy. Things open with the brightness of Bergamot blending with spicy infusion of a Warm Spices accord and Tobacco Leaves. You can feel Rose just under the surface and a faint hint of the sweetness of the Tonka Beans. A Leather Accord sets in, tempered gently by the Vanilla note. As things develop, this becomes a Tobacco and Leather scent, but there is a sweet effervescence from the Bergamot and Tonka Bean. It almost feels like there is a sweet spice in the mix, such as Nutmeg or Hazelnut, which could be included in the Warm Spices accord; it could be the Saffron Flower giving that sweet spicy essence that normally come from its threads; it could also be a blend of the general spices, Bergamot, Rose, Tonka Bean and Vanilla. This scent feels airy, sweet and spicy all at once. It has a vibe like a chilly but cozy Fall Day when the air is crisp and maybe you’re burning a soft Incense or someone nearby is burning twigs and leaves, or perhaps even you walk by someone’s house where they are burning some sort of high end wood in their fireplace. The sweet spicy element of this scent gives Fall vibes, and can be worn in the Fall, Winter and early Spring when there is still a chill to the air. There is a subtle maturity, sophistication, sensuality and special occasion vibe to this scent, but it can be worn in an office setting, and will dress up or down easily for any casual or formal occasion. It has been compared to Dior Tobacolor. TRY THIS SAMPLE AND LET US KNOW WHAT YOU THINK!
Inspiration
Tabac Nomade takes inspiration from a desert sunset; the Golden Hour upon the dunes. The time of day when the world feels a little bit ethereal and reflective.Â
Notes
This scent opens with an almost perfect blend of the top notes. Bergamot is bright and zesty, the Warm Spices give a sparkly sweetness, and Rose lies just under the surface. Saffron Flower doesn’t really add much to the overall tone of the scent, but likely helps to boost the Rose and the sweet essence of Tonka Bean. Tobacco Leaves and a Leather Accord add an aromatic depth to the spice element of the scent. It is Tobacco in the way of maybe a simple, dried Tobacco Leaf versus the aroma of cigarettes or cigarette smoke, and the Leather is very mild. Vanilla rounds out the finish of the scent, keeping the overall subtle sweetness lingering to make sure nothing becomes too sharp as everything dries.Â
