Cigar Black Wood

Rémy Latour Cigar Black Wood is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2014. Cigar Black Wood opens with Saffron, Nutmeg, Bergamot, and Grapefruit, settles into a heart of Lavender, Violet, Coconut, and Myrrh, and dries down to a base of Patchouli, Guaiac Wood, Cedar, and Tonka Bean. Rémy Latour's Cigar Black Wood carries a Favourite verdict, a amber-led wear.

Seriously underrated for its price, Cigar Black Wood is a bold, complex and beastly performer. Dismiss claims of 'synthetic' at your peril, though: this is a love-it-or-hate-it scent with a divisive coconut-heavy opening.

Its impressive projection and longevity make it less suitable for the office, where it might overwhelm. The warm, spicy, and sweet gourmand elements, alongside its 'noir' character make it perfect for dates and evening casual wear, although it can be a bit heavy for everyday activities.

About

Opens with a lively, spiced citrus burst from saffron, nutmeg, bergamot, and grapefruit before settling into a creamy, woody heart. Coconut and myrrh lend a gourmand sweetness balanced by violet and lavender's floral touches. The base deepens with guaiac wood, cedar, tonka, and patchouli, creating a dark, rich, and slightly sweet trail that lingers for ages.
