The story behind the bottle.
Frank Voelkl crafted Tabac 28 Miami by Le Labo in 2019 as a city exclusive for the brand’s Miami boutique. This woody aromatic fragrance opens with green cardamom, providing an unexpected freshness that cuts through its rich and smoky tobacco heart. The rum note adds warmth and depth, while cedarwood rounds out the base to create a complex, inviting scent. Tabac 28 Miami is neither strictly masculine nor feminine, making it a versatile choice for anyone drawn to its distinctive blend of sophistication and warmth.
One or two sprays are sufficient to capture the essence of this fragrance. The cardamom top note fades quickly, but the rich tobacco and warm base notes linger throughout the day. It's best suited for evenings or cooler weather when its depth can shine.
