2011: the world took its first breath of Cuir Tabac David Jourquin. By character, a masculine fragrance drawing from the east family. Perfumer David Jourquin poured every ounce of mastery into this one. Available as eau de parfum.
Expect a moderate sillage — enough to be remembered, not enough to overwhelm. Longevity is moderate — not too much, not too little, just right. Country of origin — France. A rich, layered composition that reveals itself differently depending on your mood and the time of day.
The fragrance has medium longevity and lasts on the skin for about 5-6 hours, gradually revealing its notes and leaving a pleasant impression
It can be felt in close proximity, but does not attract the attention of those around you
The perfume has a rich aroma that will help you stand out from the crowd and create a memorable image
A rich and elegant fragrance that gently unfolds on the skin and lasts most of the day, leaving a delicate trail
Perfumes for the fall and winter seasons often contain notes of vanilla, spices, ambergris, wood, and other warm accords, creating a feeling of comfort and warmth during the cold months
The olfactory structure of Cuir Tabac unfolds as a layered story, where accents shift without rush and without gaps. The creative approach of David Jourquin is evident in the way notes appear and fade. Every decision feels deliberate, and the structure feels complete all the way through. Eau de parfum sets the depth and body this composition needs.
At olfactory-group level the composition is built around Green, Wood, Musk and Gourmet. Within olfactory families the fragrance belongs to East.
When the pyramid is blended into one block the fragrance opens as a single chord with a architectural woody mood: Lavender, Patchouli, Tobacco and musk.
The deeper layers are read as a smooth transition from opening to trail, which gives the structure continuity.
The olfactory framework is built around these accords: Aromatic, Musc and Wood forming a compact and readable structure. The stylistic positioning is masculine, which sharpens how the fragrance is perceived. In wear duration Middle indicates a stable lasting impression.
Overall Cuir Tabac reads as a cohesive composition — the opening sets direction, the middle layer carries the identity, and the base secures the trail. This is the type of composition best judged in wear.
