The story behind the bottle.
Tabac Exquis by Caron, launched in 2020 and crafted by Jean Jacques, marries the warmth of tobacco with rich, honeyed sweetness and deep chocolate notes. The composition opens with aromatic top notes that give way to a heart of honey and vanilla, before settling into a base of cacao and tobacco, creating an indulgent and enveloping scent. This fragrance channels Caron’s enduring legacy of blending classic and luxurious elements into something deeply personal.
Tabac Exquis develops its full character within an hour, so apply it close to your skin for maximum impact. A single spritz on each wrist will carry you through the evening without overpowering.
