French Frond Mix

French Frond Mix opens on a fiery, camphorous snap - pimento and allspice spice over crisp pine needles - exactly the peppery aromatic top that gives Miller Harris Feuilles de Tabac its old-world masculine character. Dry sage and more pine carry the heart before the base reveals the scent's soul: warm, dry pipe tobacco wrapped in earthy patchouli and a touch of sweet tonka. The original was a classical, restrained tobacco that projected weakly and hugged the skin; this Perfume Parlour version keeps that intimacy and renders the blend a little flatter, with the spice forward and the nuanced cascarilla-pepper depth thinned out. Longevity sits in the moderate band. A grounded, vintage-leaning aromatic-tobacco best worn in cooler months for relaxed and evening wear.
