Byredo Tobacco Mandarin is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2020. Tobacco Mandarin opens with Mandarin, Cumin, and Coriander, settles into a heart of Leather, Tobacco, and Labdanum, and dries down to a base of Frankincense. Byredo's Tobacco Mandarin carries an Acquired verdict, a fresh spicy-led wear.

Prepare for a proper love-it-or-hate-it affair. Tobacco Mandarin isn't playing subtle, it's a bold, spicy, divisive beast with a penchant for staining clothes. You'll either adore its mysterious, opulent depth or recoil from its notorious cumin note - there's no middle ground here, mate.

About

It opens with a punchy, fresh-spicy hit of cumin and coriander, brightened by a fleeting mandarin peel. This quickly gives way to a dense, smoky tobacco heart, intertwined with rich labdanum and a hint of animalic leather. The whole affair settles into a deep, resinous frankincense base, leaving a potent, complex trail that demands attention.
