Have you ever tried authentic Indonesian kretek cigarettes?
This unique clove-infused tobacco product inspired perfumer Serena Ava Franco to create Ava Luxe Tabak Kretek in 2016.
It is a reinterpretation of the earlier 2006 release, Kretek, in which clove plays a key role, just as it does in authentic kreteks.
The fragrance belongs to the oriental, aromatic, and spicy families. Its creator is a romantic soul from San Diego who was behind the founding of the brand in 2000.
The perfume is available in eau de parfum concentration and is positioned as unisex. Its noticeable sillage makes it ideal for evenings out and cooler weather.
This is not simply tobacco—it is a complex blend in which clove, cinnamon, and cardamom create a comforting spiciness, while amber, incense, and sandalwood add depth and resinous warmth.
Each note, from tobacco to cardamom, unfolds gradually, evoking a journey from sunny California to the bohemian atmosphere of tropical islands.
Tabak Kretek is a choice for those who appreciate unconventional oriental fragrances with character. Thanks to its versatility as a unisex scent, it wears beautifully on both women’s and men’s skin.
For the best development, apply it to pulse points—the wrists, neck, and inner elbows. Given its richness, 2–3 sprays are enough.
If you enjoyed Tabak Kretek, take a look at these similar compositions: Faberlic Aromania Amber, Valmont Gaggia Medio I, and Natura Humor 4.
