Carolina Herrera Mystery Tobacco is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2016, created by Quentin Bisch. Mystery Tobacco opens with Citrus, Osmanthus, Ginger, and Artemisia, settles into a heart of Vetiver, Patchouli, Guaiac Wood, and Tobacco, and dries down to a base of Tonka Bean. Carolina Herrera's Mystery Tobacco carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.

This is a real head-turner, divisive for its price point and comparisons to other tobacco heavy hitters but praised for its smooth, sophisticated blend. It's a must-try for serious tobacco lovers, but prepare your wallet.

About

Mystery Tobacco pulls you in with a creamy, spiced opening of osmanthus and ginger, quickly settling into a rich, sweet tobacco heart. Patchouli and guaiac wood lend an earthy depth, while tonka bean in the base adds a delicious, almost chocolatey sweetness, avoiding any harshness for a velvety smooth finish. It's an enveloping, warm scent built around a prominent yet refined tobacco note.
