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

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.

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Formal

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.
