Papillon Artisan Perfumes Tobacco Rose is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2014, created by Liz Moores. Tobacco Rose settles into a heart of Rose and Beeswax, and dries down to a base of Oakmoss, Ambergris, and Peru Balsam. Papillon Artisan Perfumes's Tobacco Rose carries a Statement verdict, a textural-led wear.

This isn't your average rose; it's a divisive, complex beast that some adore for its earthy, natural depth and others find too 'dirty' or 'ashy'. Expect a sophisticated yet untamed floral, not a mainstream crowd-pleaser.

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.

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

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 Rose takes you on a journey starting with a lush, dewy rose, almost green in its freshness. Soon, a rich, honeyed beeswax accord emerges, mingling with an earthy oakmoss and a subtly animalic ambergris. This evolves into a complex drydown where a balsamic warmth and a whisper of woody depth cling to the skin, creating a scent that's both elegant and raw.
