Parfums Caron Tabac Exquis (2021) is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2021, created by Jean Jacques. Tabac Exquis (2021) opens with Cinnamon, settles into a heart of Dark Chocolate, Jasmine, Iris, and Tobacco, and dries down to a base of Cacao Pod, Tonka Bean, Ambroxan, and Benzoin. Parfums Caron's Tabac Exquis (2021) carries a Favourite verdict, a spicy-led wear.

This one is divisive: some find it a masterful blend of sophisticated gourmand and tobacco, while others complain about its sweetness, lack of tobacco, or poor performance. Definitely sample first.

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.

About

Tabac Exquis opens with a warm, spicy hit of cinnamon, quickly followed by the rich, indulgent darkness of chocolate and cacao. A soft, powdery iris emerges, elegantly blending with a subtle, non-ashy tobacco note. The dry down settles into a cozy, resinous base of tonka bean, benzoin, and frankincense, creating a smooth, comforting, and slightly sweet aroma.
