Houbigant 2023 EDP
Tabac Nomade
by Antoine Lie , Luca Maffei
Houbigant Tabac Nomade is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2023, created by Antoine Lie and Luca Maffei. Tabac Nomade opens with Spicy Notes, Bergamot, and Rose, settles into a heart of Saffron, Tonka Bean, and Tobacco, and dries down to a base of Leather and Vanilla. Houbigant's Tabac Nomade carries an Acquired verdict, a musk-led wear.
A powerhouse of a tobacco fragrance that's polarising for its sheer intensity and sweetness. Not for the faint of heart, it's a love-it-or-hate-it kind of scent. Definitely try before you buy, unless you fancy a very long-lasting gamble.What our verdicts mean →

Scent Profile
Composition
Timeline
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
A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Best Occasions
Its potent projection and eternal longevity make it overwhelming for office wear but perfect for special evenings or cooler weather dates. The rich, bold character leans towards formal events, though its deep sweetness might be too much for some settings.
