Shay & Blue London Violet Tabac is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2024, created by Julie Massé. Violet Tabac opens with Ginger and Star Anise, settles into a heart of Gingerbread, Violet, and Tobacco, and dries down to a base of Leather, Vanilla, and Tonka Bean. Shay & Blue London's Violet Tabac carries an Acquired verdict, a sweet-led wear.

This one's a divisive delight. Some find it a gorgeous, comforting autumn scent, embracing its unique profile. Others, however, recoil from the 'nightmare' combination of tobacco, leather, and anise, proving that Violet Tabac is definitely not for everyone.

About

Violet Tabac opens with a sweet, powdery flourish, its signature floral violet immediately present. This tender start soon gives way to a richer heart, where warm gingerbread and spicy ginger meld with the depth of vanilla and tonka. Beneath it all lies a robust foundation of tobacco and leather, given an unusual twist by the subtly licorice-like anis, creating a comforting yet complex autumn scent experience.
