Aedes de Venustas Café Tabac

Café Tabac is a dazzling, sexy, and complex scent that opens with sparkling notes of bergamot and unexpected fruits like apple and tamarind. It pays homage to tobacco in many forms—dry leaves, humid flowers, and a cigar lit by fire—represented through herbal clary sage and davana, a tint of mango with dried fig and date, and a rough smokiness from tobacco absolute, tar, cade, and cedarwood. The heart features an amber accord composed of cistus and labdanum secretions, ambergris, oakmoss, vanilla, cacao accord, and Peru balsam, leading to a darkly rich and resinous base. Burnt sugar, fresh clove, and cardamom add distinctive spicy and sweet facets, keeping the fragrance multilayered rather than perfectly round.
