Comment: Tobacco Nuit is part of the Collection Orient
Tobacco Nuit is an ambery tobacco offering, which verges closer towards the aroma of unlit black tobacco than the blond variety.

Starting out with some cumin, the composition rests on a granular foundation of dark woods. The frankincense is hardly evident, yet the cedar yields a peppery woodiness. However, as it further evolves, it structurally fails to hold itself together, smelling murkier and less convincing over time.

Based on Atelier Cologne's prolific output, this is obviously a case of an underdeveloped idea hastily composed for financial gain. If it wasn't for the exorbitant price tag, it wouldn't have been viewed as an insult to the general intelligence of consumers.

Sillage is moderate, with decent lasting power.
