Fragrance Character and Release History
A Cigar Stub is an eau de parfum by Kohshi, released in 2021.
This unisex fragrance joined the Kilesa collection and evokes the image of a smoldering cigar, expressing it through dry woody, spicy, leathery and balsamic nuances.
Kohshi is a Japanese perfume brand known for its unisex eau de parfum compositions.
A Cigar Stub captures the brand's character perfectly: it does not seek neutral freshness, but instead offers a pronounced texture and a contrast between a cool opening and a warm, rich base.
Development and Mood
The fragrance opens brightly and coolly with eucalyptus, lemon and a tobacco accord.
The citrus spark quickly meets dry green notes and an astringent smokiness, creating a composed, slightly austere first impression.
As it develops, the composition becomes spicier and deeper.
Black pepper and clove add an energetic sharpness, while geranium and rose soften the scent with floral nuances. A leather accord and myrrh give the heart density, resinous depth and a subtle vintage expressiveness.
The finish of A Cigar Stub is built around amber, benzoin, oud, sandalwood, vetiver and musk.
The base is warm, woody and balsamic, with a distinct oriental depth and a long-lasting impression of dry wood, leather and spicy smoke.
Who Is A Cigar Stub For?
The fragrance is presented as unisex and is intended for those who enjoy rich compositions with character.
It is especially well suited to cool weather, evenings, meetings and events where expressive oriental and woody accords feel appropriate.
A Cigar Stub has a very powerful sillage, making it noticeable in the air and allowing it to unfold gradually.
The recommended dosage for application to skin and clothing is not specified in the available information, so it is best to start with a small amount and assess how it develops on your own skin.
The Perfumer and Its Place in the Collection
The composition was created by Hidenori Matsuno.
His work is built around an expressive balance of cool, spicy, leathery and resinous woody nuances, giving the cigar image a layered perfumery interpretation rather than a literal one.
Within the Kilesa collection, A Cigar Stub stands out for its dense, dark mood and particularly powerful sillage.
No other concentrations of this fragrance are listed in the database, so it is impossible to compare it with Eau de Toilette or Extrait versions.
