Mystery Tobacco Carolina Herrera 2016

I hadn't heard much about Carolina Herrera's exclusive line until now, except that, as the name suggests, it is rarely available and expensive. The bottles look valuable and elegant, in contrast to the "F*ck-me-Pumps line" (Good Girl, etc.), and feel heavy in the hand, each colored to match the fragrance (the Tobacco is therefore golden brown).
Since I love tobacco scents and also own a few masculine ones, I couldn't resist letting Herrera's unisex tobacco be the first of this luxury series to come under my nose.
The first impression nearly knocked me over: super strong, slightly sweet tobacco (much less sweet than Kilian, Tom Ford, or Pure Havane) immediately filled my nostrils, and I had to "sniff away" first. But just after a few seconds, the slight tobacco scratchiness faded, and the fragrance found its way. From then on, I began to like it extraordinarily. I detected a flashing Cointreau note, which gave the fragrance a gourmand, slightly bittersweet touch, but also some sophistication.
However, it also has a dark side - a gloomy smokiness, a bit of ashtray, a bit of a gentlemen's club, a bit of the Middle East.
I don't want to say that I can identify Oud, but it has something reminiscent of the Absolus d'Orient from Guerlain, which I still vividly remember in scent. It lasts very well and long, and doesn't change much after hours, so you can look forward to 6-8 hours of slightly sweet, slightly fruity, but very intense tobacco with a minimal oriental touch. And long after that, a warm tonka note remains, also very beautiful!
