Zaharoff Signature Tabac is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2021, created by Claude Dir. Signature Tabac opens with Cognac, Davana, Anise, and Lavender, settles into a heart of Canadian Fir Balsam, Chili, Virginia Cedarwood, and Oud, and dries down to a base of Amber, Sandalwood, Vanilla, and Tonka Bean. Zaharoff's Signature Tabac carries an Acquired verdict, a sweet-led wear.

This one's a divisive bruiser; you'll either adore its rich, boozy tobacco or find it an overpriced mess. Signature Tabac is definitely not for everyone, but if it hits right, it'll be a firm favourite.

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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall Winter

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

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

With its long-lasting performance and moderate sillage, this fragrance is better suited for evenings and cooler weather. It's too opulent for a casual office setting but shines on a date or formal occasion where its rich, mature character can be appreciated.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

Other declarable allergens

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Opens with a potent, boozy hit of cognac and rum, softened by a touch of anise and davana, immediately setting a grown-up, indulgent tone. The heart introduces a smooth, almost fresh tobacco leaf, complemented by rich honey and a hint of pimento spice, grounded by cedarwood and a whisper of oud. It settles into a warm, inviting base of creamy vanilla, tonka bean, amber, and a smoky, resinous myrrh and incense, all rounded off with a dark plum note.
