Scent Profile

Composition

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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Fall Winter
Also Works:
Summer

Built on woody, warm spicy and sweet - a composition that sits best in spring, autumn and winter.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date
Also Works:
Casual Formal

The warm spicy, sweet, and woody accords make it a bit too bold for a typical office setting, but perfect for a date or going out. While not overtly formal, its complexity could work for some evening events. It's certainly not a sport scent.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Geraniol from Rose
  • Oakmoss Evernia prunastri extract from Oakmoss

Other declarable allergens

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Tobacco Black 40 kicks off with a vibrant mix of fresh apple and a whisper of rose and saffron, setting a bright, intriguing tone. It then settles into a surprising heart of peppery warmth and a sweet, almost gourmand cotton candy. The dry down is a sophisticated blend of rich amber and creamy vanilla, underpinned by the earthy depth of cedar and oakmoss, leaving a lasting, woody sweetness.
