The story behind the bottle.
Tabac Noir by Caron was launched in 2019, crafted by the renowned perfumer Jean Jacques. This fragrance embodies the essence of sophistication and mystery with its woody, white floral, and honey accords, balanced by rich leather and animalic notes. The composition opens with a warm embrace of honey and white florals before settling into an earthy patchouli base that is both grounding and alluring. It's a scent that carries the weight of Caron’s legacy — a house known for its enduring elegance and innovative spirit.
Apply one to two sprays to your pulse points. The honey and white florals are prominent in the first hour but give way to a deeper patchouli and leather base that lasts throughout the day. Best worn during cooler evenings when its warmth is most appreciated.
