The story behind the bottle.
Tabac Nomade by Houbigant is a unisex fragrance launched in 2023 and created by perfumers Luca Maffei and Antoine Lie. This composition centers around tobacco, blending its earthy richness with warm spices, vanilla, leather, and metallic accents to create a complex, layered scent. The interplay between the aromatic tobacco leaf and the deep warmth of tonka bean and saffron adds a sophisticated edge, while the sweet vanilla and rose notes balance out the composition with a touch of softness.
Tabac Nomade has a long-lasting base that develops over time. Apply it to pulse points for a subtle warmth that builds throughout the day. The metallic notes add a distinctive presence, so be mindful not to layer too heavily as it can become overpowering.
