The story behind the bottle.
Tabac Blond Parfum by Caron was launched in 1919, crafted by Ernest Daltroff, the founder of this legendary French perfume house. This composition opens with a bright yet earthy blend of lime and carnation before transitioning into a heart of iris and ylang-ylang. The base notes of leather, musk, vanilla, cedar, and patchouli create an intriguing contrast between warmth and powdery depth, resulting in a scent that is both classic and lasting.
Apply lightly; the lime and carnation top notes are fleeting but impactful. Allow the fragrance to develop on your skin as it transitions into its heart and base notes over an hour or two.
