15: Jungle Tobacco

Tsin-Tsin Tobacco / Reine de la Jungle

Binet-Papillon 2017

The blend evoques creamy sandalwood & powdery marzipan.
Love the cardamom and tobacco mix with iris and sweet, deep, spiced hints of tonka.

Under dense leaves in the honey-tobacco jungle, a gnome relaxes on a wooden bench. Iris powder, almonds + warm spices drift down.

Exotic. At first, I smelled a somehow creamy-soft citrus. Then a bitter-woody dark chocolate tobacco. A slightly musty, green-fruity oud base.

Very strange tobacco scent, the sweetness is very dominant, but the tobacco is unusual. A hard-to-describe fragrance.
