Madame Churchill

I think that based on the name, 99% of us would expect this perfume to be dark, smoky, and intensely tobacco-heavy—after all, Sir Winston Churchill was known to smoke around ten cigars a day.

What Dimitri @bortnikoffparfum created instead is a very abstract and surprising interpretation: a bubblegum-like fragrance built around real tuberose, with a honeyed nuance, even though honey isn’t listed in the note pyramid. Most likely, it’s the combination of tuberose and a generous dose of ambergris that creates this sweetened effect.

A prominent tea note opens the composition and blends seamlessly with the rest, while tobacco plays only a supporting role, serving as the backbone of the fragrance.

Overall, it’s an unusual yet sensual composition, with moderate sillage and longevity. Here, the tobacco stays quietly in the background.
