Spirit Of Kings Tabana is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2019, created by Christian Provenzano. Tabana opens with Bergamot, Oud, Cardamom, and Saffron, settles into a heart of Leather and Pepper, and dries down to a base of Ambergris. Spirit Of Kings's Tabana carries an Acquired verdict, a musk-led wear.

Tabana is a divisive, masculine-leaning leather and oud combo. Some will love this smoky, spicy take on a familiar profile, seeing it as an elevated version of popular scents, while others will find it too harsh and traditional.

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.

Its long-lasting nature and moderate sillage, combined with the rich leather and oud notes, make it a bit much for the office. However, it shines on dates and formal occasions, especially in cooler weather, offering a refined and distinctive presence.

About

Tabana opens with a vibrant, spicy punch of cardamom and saffron, brightened by bergamot, before the deep, earthy growl of oud makes its presence known. As it settles, a smooth, rich leather accord emerges, subtly spiced with pepper, softening the initial intensity. The dry down is anchored by a sophisticated ambergris, lending a salty, warm depth that lingers elegantly.
