Powdery Tobacco
“A worn armchair, honeyed pipe smoke and a long autumn night.”
Dossier's 2024 Powdery Tobacco is widely compared to Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille (2007): tobacco and apricot open over honey, settling on tonka. Sweet and vanilla accords lead, with tobacco, honey and fruity facets. The apricot and honey give the tobacco a soft, golden sweetness, while the tonka adds a powdery, almond-like warmth in the drydown. A fall and winter evening scent.
