Signature Leather Tabac
Zaharoff Signature Leather Tabac
Zaharoff Signature Leather Tabac redefines the leather-tobacco genre with an exquisite blend of rugged leather, rich tobacco, and a nuanced complexity of spicy-sweet gourmand undertones. Created with Master Perfumer Claude Dir, this fragrance takes the foundation of the hugely successful Zaharoff Signature TABAC and adds a modern twist with an indulgent "fetish leather and tobacco" blend, making it a deeply evocative and bold creation.
Fragrance Family: Leather-Tobacco Oriental
Vibe: Bold. Sophisticated. Evocative.
Fragrance Profile:
Top Notes: The opening bursts with aromatic spiciness, led by rosemary and sage, while the pepper and star anise bring boldness, grounded by a subtle plum note adding a touch of sweetness.
Heart Notes: The heart unveils the complex leathery richness, with birch tar introducing smoky intensity, complemented by suede and cumin for depth. The Bulgarian rose and tobacco lend floral and earthy touches, while the myrrh adds a sacred, resinous quality.
Base Notes: The base settles into a smooth, leathery finish with a balance of dry, resinous warmth from patchouli, frankincense, and oud, while the vanilla bean and praline bring a sweet, indulgent complexity.
Key Highlights:
-
Complex Leather Development: The fragrance evolves from smoky birch tar to suede, ultimately grounding itself in smooth leather, offering a multi-dimensional leather experience.
-
Spicy-Gourmand Contrast: The spicy opening and warm, sweet base of praline and vanilla create a unique contrast to the dry, smoky elements of tobacco and leather.
-
Sacred Resins: The inclusion of myrrh, frankincense, and oud adds depth and a ceremonial feel, elevating the fragrance beyond the typical leather-tobacco scent.
-
Globally-Sourced Ingredients: The composition uses ingredients from around the world, including South African rosemary, Scandinavian birch tar, Bulgarian rose otto, Ethiopian myrrh, Chinese oud, and Virginia tobacco, adding authenticity and cultural richness.
Inspiration and Storytelling:
The fragrance is inspired by the idea of "fetish leather and tobacco," where the rich, sensual allure of leather and tobacco is fused with an intriguing complexity. It tells a story of rugged masculinity, vintage refinement, and a luxurious depth that is timeless and contemporary at the same time.
Perfect For:
-
Those who appreciate bold, sophisticated leather-tobacco fragrances with a modern, luxurious twist.
-
Fragrance connoisseurs who enjoy complex, multi-layered compositions with global influence.
-
Individuals seeking a statement fragrance for evening wear, formal events, or special occasions.
Why It Stands Out:
-
Sophistication and Luxury: Leather Tabac is a true work of modern perfumery, combining ruggedness with refinement through its layered, spicy-sweet complexity.
-
Globally-Inspired Composition: The use of ingredients sourced from around the world makes it a unique blend that tells a global story through scent.
-
Sacred Depth: The inclusion of sacred resins like myrrh and frankincense lends a spiritual, almost mystical quality to the fragrance, setting it apart from others in the leather-tobacco category.
Final Thoughts:
Zaharoff Signature Leather Tabac is a masterpiece that elevates the leather-tobacco genre to a new level of complexity, sophistication, and depth. With its bold, smoky opening, luxurious leathery heart, and warm, resinous base, it’s a fragrance that evokes a sense of both rugged allure and refined elegance. The globally-sourced ingredients and nuanced balance between dry and sweet elements make this fragrance a true standout.
