Sphinx Fragrances Tabac Citron Vanille is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2022. Tabac Citron Vanille opens with Bergamot, Lemon, Mandarin, and Orange Blossom, settles into a heart of Jasmine, Lily of the Valley, Heliotrope, and Cardamom, and dries down to a base of Sandalwood, Vetiver, Patchouli, and Vanilla. Sphinx Fragrances's Tabac Citron Vanille carries a Statement verdict, a fresh-led wear.

Divisive yet captivating, this scent walks a tightrope between a citrus-vanilla crowd-pleaser and a sophisticated tobacco-floral blend. It's a shapeshifter, for better or worse.

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.

Declarable allergens

About

Opens with a vibrant, zesty burst of bergamot, mandarin, and lemon, softened by a creamy orange blossom. This bright introduction quickly evolves, with a heart of jasmine and a hint of spicy cardamom and cinnamon emerging. The real show begins in the dry down, as a smooth, honeyed tobacco entwines with warm vanilla and tonka, grounded by earthy patchouli and sandalwood, creating a surprisingly nuanced and luxurious finish.
