Weird, But Good...
Goes on skin with an immediate blast of apricot, quickly adding a hay note before a transition to the heart notes which feature a raisin-like davana and tobacco tandem that mixes with just the faintest hint of the initial apricot still remaining from the top notes and a cedar undertone to boost the tobacco a bit. The tobacco and davana primary combo stays relatively linear from this point out through the base notes which add just a touch of vanilla that sweetens the scent by the tiniest of amounts. Baque has excellent projection and longevity.

Baque is a very interesting scent. The first time I wore it, my first impressions were of a rubber-like accord. After further wearings, however, it became clear what I thought was rubber, was actually the raisin-like davana and tobacco combo. The apricot in the beginning was also elusive, but now is clear as day to me. I guess this is a much more complex scent than I originally thought and it would not surprise me that if I wear my sample a few more times, even more notes will emerge. From a marketing perspective, this was intended as a female targeted scent, or so I hear from the nose behind it. That said, I really think this is masculine all the way, and I am not sure I would want to smell this on a woman, not to say a woman can't pull it off if she wanted to... I *do* enjoy wearing it myself plenty, for certain. In the end, Baque is complex enough to keep one guessing after several wearings, but just accessible enough to be quite wearable without any hesitation. I am enjoying Baque and will add it to my eventual buy list as it (like most other Slumberhouse scents) is a great value earning an excellent 4 out of 5 stars.

Good luck, this is in my top five
I got one of the 44 boats of Baque sold a month ago, I no longer remembered it when it was long ago in a sample

Its beginning is typical of the house with that usual but wonderful balsamico, instead of peach in this case is a very made apricot, is accompanied with a note of hay, continuing his journey with davana and sweet tobacco, is accompanied immediately spices in quantity, aromatic herbs and a good cedar wood, which makes it a wonderful composition, for me the best of Slumberhouse.

Although it may appear linear, it evolves to a soft tobacco almost edible, very penetrating as fruity, spicy, is an extraordinary goumand, has a great composition, is balanced with wonderful materials, powerful and that attract attention

In the drying it seems penetrating, like something of dark chocolate, rather to cocoa, is a complete aroma and that surprises for good, as it is used using other days, each time it makes you more additive to the

Very high longevity, chair very well done, in short, as this house occasionally descataloga the perfumes, the next time I go to the market I will buy another bottle, for me it is essential to have

Perfumery at it's level Best !!!
Baque is an extra-ordinary creation by JOSH LOBB . Its sadly discontinued . Somehow, I managed to score a 30 ML Golden Cap Baque . First of all , If you like Tobacco , this is it . This is the best Tobacco based fragrance I have ever tried so far . Opening with rotten Apricot & Davana accompanied by deep dark Tobacco nuances with added vanilla , Honey and Amber accord . . The wearing experience is tremendous , Its deep , Dark , sexy & addictive . But , It's not everybody's cup of tea .

I have also Slumberhouse - MOND , and found some similarities with the tobacco part and also the Sayat Nova by Bortnikoff . Anyway , Try it if you Love those listed notes . This is a Masterpiece , I just love the way it is .

Justice was Done
After trying the latest iteration, I can finally put BAQUE from Sulmberhouse in my top favorite tobacco-based compositions.

I have long abandoned the Slumberhouse train for many reasons. Mostly because I felt the house had lost its magic and the charisma that got me hooked many years ago. I only kept one perfume, KISTE, my favorite from the house. BAQUE, to me, always felt like a diamond in the rough. A tobacco perfume of great potential which was never fulfilled. The opening part and the heart were brilliant, only to fall apart in the base with a generic vanilla and ambergris combination, a major departure from the theme and the initial boozy-moist tobacco affair. It felt like Josh decided to create an amazing and unique tobacco-based perfume but got lazy in the process and left it unfinished. But now, justice has been done. A fellow enthusiast contacted me, asking if I was interested in acquiring a bottle of this new version of BAQUE. I have to admit, I was intrigued when I heard that a new version came up. Could it be? Final redemption?
I decided to try for myself.

After receiving it, I first applied it to the blotter. It reminded me of the older version immediately. So far so good, as I always loved the first half of this perfume. The same brilliant opening blast where dried fruits, whiskey, and moist tobacco leaves dance together to your sense's delight. Unique and captivating. I think the use of davana in this perfume is really smart as it coaxes all of that dried fruit, booziness, and edges of the tobacco accord, cementing them together. Such an amazing ingredient when properly used. In the mid, it still went as I remembered it, with the drunken fruits slowly backing down to allow more of the moist tobacco to come forth. Finally, it had reached the point where the previous version turned for the worst. But now, surprisingly, it continued in the direction it should have from the beginning. Yes, the vanilla and the ambergris are still there, yet I feel the ambergris is toned down, and what dominates now in the dry down for me is an amped-up woody quality as well as a prolonged leafiness and the tobacco accord that has been stretched to last forever until the perfume consumes completely on the skin. No more cracks in the flow of the composition, and finally, it feels like a finished product. The leafiness and the woodiness now overtake the vanilla-ambergris combo that follows just as a supporting player. I decided to wear it on the skin, hoping for the same experience as on the paper strip, yet still bracing for that uneventful dry-down I knew well and had me scrub it off mid-way. Only that this time, it never came. Pure delight from start to finish. I wore it over and over again with the same result. I am happy that BAQUE got redeemed at last, and I will be keeping this bottle even though I was skeptical at first. I can finally say that BAQUE is one of my favorite tobacco-based perfumes and most certainly one of the most unique. Moist tobacco leaves from start to finish, adorned with dried fruits drunken on whisky, and supported by vanilla, woods, and patchouli in the base. There is nothing quite like it out there.

A gourmand and boozy tobacco
In 2022 my friend sold me around 10 mililiters of Baque, additionally I ordered a sample from Luckyscents. Eventually, few months later bought a bottle.

Baque does similar tricks as others from the brand - creates memories in my head, in my brain. In that case however, these memories are not that closely related to my very own memories, which are a part of my childhood, a part of my life.

It opens up with a strong hay note that almost instantly reminded me of Sova. But it’s quite different from Sova, yet similar. It’s almost like Sova and Jeke decided to have a baby. So yes, pretty darn strong organic note is prominent on my skin. It changes into slightly boozy alcoholic note mixed with delicate herbaceous note and a little bit of tobacco - raw and tobacco smoke is also there. However, I must say, that compared with Baque Jeke (tell your pick with the formula, it doesn’t matter in that case) is a super smoky tobacco-cade bomb. The only one that might be considered as boozy as Baque - is a new Jeke 2022. After that there’s not that much going on as the scent keeps drying down to its ambery base.

Longevity is over 9 hours, sillage depends on the sprays used - and I’d say less is more with Baque.

Interesting. I’ll stick to my decant and samples, and see how much more it can surprise me (I believe it can, a lot).

After a thick and boozy spicy fruity-sweet opening, this dusty spicy resinous-sweet Fall fragrance, settles on a smooth resinous-woody base.

Boozy tobacco, honey, apricot, ambergris and cedarwood in the base, perfectly blended. It's resinous, thick, rich, sweet, strong, addictive.
