The perfumer says:
Based on Tobacco Absolute and moderately sweetened only by natural materials like Tonka Beans and Hay Absolute, Tabac Libre offers a wonderful and non smoking or vaping experience of aromatic Tobacco to the wearer. It was chronologically my fifth creation and was initially made for a close friend, who urged me to create my take on Tobacco essence.

Latest Reviews of Tabac Libre
The opening of Tabac Libre is one of the most beautiful perfumes I've had the pleasure of smelling. It's in the opening that I really pick up the balance of raspberry and plum with the rum and cognac and tobacco notes...pure bliss. Once the perfume begins to dry down the tobacco and coffee notes take center stage and the fruit and alcoholic beverage notes take more of a supporting role. It is still very beautiful, but takes on a stronger mustiness from the coffee as well. Tonka also plays a role and mixed with the tobacco brings a very slight anisic presence, but it definitely doesn't over power. This fragrance though unisex leans more masculine IMO, especially in the dry down. This is a full bottle purchase for me for sure. A wonderful piece of olfactory art is accomplished in this perfume. Bravo Mr. Balamis!
