Café Tabac

by Bertrand Duchaufour

Aedes de Venustas Café Tabac is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2023, created by Bertrand Duchaufour. Café Tabac settles into a heart of Oakmoss, Tamarind, Burnt Sugar, and Cardamom. Aedes de Venustas's Café Tabac carries an Acquired verdict, a sweet-led wear.

A love-it-or-hate-it tobacco bomb. If you're a Duchaufour fan, you'll adore this complex, sweet, and smoky journey, though some find it a bit much. Definitely not a blind buy.

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

This is a beast mode fragrance, very strong and long-lasting, making it unsuitable for an office setting. Its rich tobacco and sweet amber profile, with clear indications for evening wear from reviews, makes it ideal for dates and formal events, though too heavy for casual daytime use or sport.

About

Café Tabac opens with a challenging blast of fruit and burnt sugar, quickly giving way to a rich, dark pipe tobacco heart. Dried fruits like date and fig lend a juicy sweetness, while birch tar and spices add a smoky, almost boozy depth. The dry down mellows into a warm, vanilla-infused amber, with hints of cacao and earthy oakmoss that linger for hours.
