Fleur de Tabac is an incredible tobacco flower type base created by the master perfumer Jean Carles at the end of the 1920s when he worked for Roure. It encapsulates not just tobacco flowers, but the distinct scent of the entire plant as it would have existed in the early 20th century before genetic modification and cross breeding altered it forever.
Fleur de Tabac was most likely the foundation of the now all-but-disappeared perfume of the similar name by Cherigan in 1929 but its most famous outing was as a key note in Schiaparelli's groundbreaking 1937 fragrance Shocking (also by Jean Carles) as part of its central pink flower accord.
The base is presented here in an essentially unmodified form. Miraculously the formula of Mr Carles has survived the onslaught of regulations and the only necessary tweak was the replacement of a trace amount of a prohibed musk.
Fleur de Tabac is like nothing you have experienced before. It is a truly unique and astonishing piece of fragrance history. This base is proof that perfumery has been, and can again be, an art form.

General Information
General Information
Like most suppliers and makers of quality raw materials for fragrances, we do not filter many of our products. This ensures that no odiferous matter is lost prior to use but can result in the appearance of small particles or slight clouding.
All alcoholic fragrances should be macerated for up to a month and then chilled in a moderate freezer overnight before being filtered fine. This will remove all cloudiness or detritus and is the industry norm.

Customer Reviews
This is a really interesting material with a soft floral character sitting over tobacco and smoke. Think of the lingering smoke on a jacket after a cigar rather than actively burning tobacco or a campfire. At low doses it adds an inimitible character to tobacco accord, while at high doses the floral side begins to shine.
To the other comments I would add that it smells very like "Tabac Original" (Maurer & Wirtz, 1959). This achieved enduring success as a masculine fragrance in Germany, despite some kinship with Chanel No 5 in the aldehydic topnotes.
A subtle tobacco note wrapped within a floral coat, I also detect slight earthy and green nuances.
While experimenting with this is a base, I find that it sits in the middle to base notes.
IMO, this base is rather subtle and requires overdose to become the star of a formula, however it blends well with many notes (Florals, woods, patchouli, clary sage, vanilla).
Yummy, sweet and elegant. Lasts forever on a strip.
This flower base is masculine by itself. Perfect floral note for hard boiled theme perfume.
