The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2019, Tobacco Collection Unexpected Fresh Spicy by Zara is a Woody Spicy fragrance for men created by perfumer Marine Ipert. It opens with the vibrant contrast of cinnamon and bergamot, creating an unexpected freshness before diving into its heart notes of whiskey, patchouli, and iris. The base layers of tobacco, vanilla, benzoin, sandalwood, and tonka bean bring a warm and powdery finish that grounds this composition in rich complexity.
Two sprays on each wrist and neck are sufficient to capture its nuanced balance between fresh and warm. The fragrance blooms over an hour, so it's best applied before heading out for the day rather than just as you leave.
