The story behind the bottle.
Tabac Blond by Caron was launched in 1919 and is a Leather fragrance for women, crafted by the legendary perfumer Ernest Daltroff. The composition opens with carnation and lime blossom, leading to a heart of iris and ylang-ylang before settling into a warm base of leather, vanille, musk, patchouli, and Virginia cedar. This fragrance is an enduring emblem of Caron's legacy, blending floral elegance with the rich warmth of leather.
Apply this fragrance sparingly — it blooms gradually on skin over time. The leather notes are long-lasting, so one or two sprays will carry you through the day without overpowering.
