Zaharoff Signature Leather Tabac is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2023, created by Claude Dir. Signature Leather Tabac opens with Pepper, Star Anise, Plum, and Rosemary, settles into a heart of Birch Tar, Rose, Cumin, and Tobacco, and dries down to a base of Suede, Leather, Oud, and Patchouli. Zaharoff's Signature Leather Tabac carries an Acquired verdict, a musk-led wear.

This is a beast of a fragrance and not for the faint-hearted. It's a love-it-or-hate-it kind of scent, with a powerful, almost confrontational opening that mellows into something surprisingly addictive for those who can ride the initial wave.

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.

About

Zaharoff Leather Tabac opens with a bold, almost challenging burst of black pepper and resinous star anise, softened by the fruity hint of plum. The heart introduces a rich, smoky blend of birch tar and dark tobacco, underpinned by a subtle, earthy cumin and a touch of rose. The drydown is where the magic truly unfolds, settling into a luxurious and long-lasting embrace of supple suede and deep leather, intertwined with warm vanilla, honeyed praline, and mystical frankincense and oud.
