19-69 Chinese Tobacco is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2017.

This one is a real journey, opening with a unique fizz and drying down to something comforting and spicy. It's divisive, with some finding it disappointingly faint, others praising its complexity and uniqueness, but most agree it's a soft, approachable tobacco.

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

About

Chinese Tobacco opens with a bright, almost fizzy kick of lemon and ginger, quickly joined by a soft, spicy tobacco. As it settles, the scent deepens into a warm embrace of resin and vanilla, with a subtle woody and incense-like smokiness from the cedar, vetiver, and a hint of tar. The oud is present but not overpowering, blending into a complex, comforting dry-down.
