About this deal

Much like tobacco absolute, liatris absolute can be successfully combined with oakmoss, labdanum, lavender, incense, salycilates, cloves, patchouli and many other materials. People make home-made absolute from these flowers, which has a deep floral aroma with notes of violet, cloves, spices and dried fruit, however the material is not produced on an industrial scale. China is the leader on the market (with over 2.5 million tons of tobacco grown yearly), followed by India and Brazil, while USA produces about 450 thousand tons of tobacco per year. Methyl nicotinate combines warm spicy aromatic notes with a distinct tobacco tone, while damascenine (despite its name, a close relative to anthranilates) combines tobacco and floral notes. Tonkavert may also seem quite an interesting compound : chemically speaking , it is a nitril, but one can recognize notes of tonka beans and tobacco in its scent.

Tobacco Touch Perfume / Eau De Parfum by Maison Alhambra is a beautiful concoction of a well-done Tobacco pipe and a delectable vanilla cake Inspired by Tomford Tobacco Vanilla. Redolent with spice, this classic unisex fragrance is further enhanced by adding creamy tonka bean, vanilla, cocoa, dry fruit accords and sweet wood sap resulting in a modern, opulent, and almost heady impression that is as radiant as it is sophisticated. A real nuzzler that will keep you feeling confident and in command whilst retaining the attention of those around you. Tobacco absolute also contains lactones: first and foremost, the peachy gamma-undecalactone and the nutty-coconut whisky lactone with undertones of tonka beans, caramelized sugar and celery. Tobacco absolute is used not only in the tobacco-themed fragrances, for in small quantities it adds depth and character to aldehydic frgrances and imparts some typical dryness to fougeres and oriental compositions. Tobacco notes combine well with sandalwood, castoreum, labdanum, sage, vetiver, cedar and violet-iris. The fact that tobacco contains physiologically active substances was known as early as VIth century BC: there is evidence that tobacco had been already cultivated.

Virginia varieties are the ones most often used to produce the absolute, more rarely people use Burley, the so-called Oriental (Turkish) and Latakia varieties (grown in Syria and Cyprus; upon primary drying, this variety of tobacco is then fire-cured; looking ahead, let me just say that Christopher Sheldrake attempted to reproduce the aroma of that variety of tobacco in his Fumerie Turque, which was created under the strict guidance of Serge Lutens). The biggest contributors to the shaping of its charateristic tobacco fragrance are carotenoids: ionones and their many derivatives, damascenone, edulane and its derivatives, theaspiranes (important components of the scent of tea and osmanthus), safranal, megastigmatrienone – which is also present in osmanthus, but plays one of major roles here; Symrise and certain other companies produce it under the brand Tabanon. In addition to nicotine, tobacco contains other alkaloids, for example, harmine, harmaline and tetrahydroharmine which are monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs), which relates them to certain antidepressants that act in the same way.

Inspired by the Arabic words, ‘Latif’ for kindness and ‘Lateefa’ for pleasant, Lattafa resonates with the luxury and elegance of the Arabian culture and it vividly captures the essence of its glorious heritage in its captivating fragrance.People often mention Caron's Tabac Blondas one of the most famous tobacco fragrances, but it is rather more leather Isobutyl Quinoline, i.e. leather in vanilla sauce with hints of cloves and iris.

An important role is played by phenols ( cresols, guaiacols, eugenol and its analogs), shaping a medicinal, slightly cured accord. The derivatives of pyrazine give a nutty roasted tone, while furan derivatives impart a caramel note: the effect of 2-acetyl furan (sweet, balsamic, roasted, with coconut, almond and coffee) can be seen in Hugo Boss Baldessarini. Many amber-woody materials possess a tobacco aspect in them: kefalis, trimofix, tobacarol (a synthetic derivative of caryophylene oxide). This Arabian Oud fragrance will be perfect for every occasion- birthdays, anniversaries and many more Fragrance Notes The tobacco absolute is derived from dried fremented tobacco leaves and here it goes basically by the book: first, the leaves are extracted with petroleum ether or hexane (they had also used benzole for the purpose earlier) and the resulting concrete is then extracted by ethanol. There is a slightly different way to go about it: first they do the initial extraction, then they add a special high boiling solvent and conduct a codistillation resulting in a weakly colored viscous liquid.

Tobacco Touch Perfume / Eau De Parfum by Maison Alhambra / Lattafa (Inspired by Tobacco Vanilla – ***) An absolute that is somewhat similar to tobacco in terms of aroma is another natural material – the absolute of Blazing star (Lat. Liatris odoratissima), a plant of the aster family (Lat. Asteraceae): sweet, herbal- coumarin, with undertones of vanilla. Combined with musks, heliotropine, ionones and cinnamon, Liatris absolute creates a very interesting and dry powdery accord. Tobacco Touch By Maison Alhambrais opulent, warm and ironic. reminiscent of an English gentleman’s club and blended with rich spices, vanilla and Tobacco flower, it leaves a powerful impression.
