Character and History of the Fragrance
Requin Tabac Rose is an expressive unisex perfume by the Brazilian brand Requin, released in 2017.
The brand specializes in fragrances that unfold with equal confidence on men's and women's skin, and this release stands out in particular for its contrast of velvety rose, gourmand sweetness and a rich woody-ambery base.
The name Tabac Rose sets the mood of the composition: this is not a light pink bouquet, but a dense, warm and sensual fragrance with a spicy nuance.
Here, the floral theme gradually gains depth as it comes into contact with chocolate, vanilla, patchouli and dry woody nuances.
As a result, Requin Tabac Rose smells seductive, noticeable and full of character while retaining its universal unisex positioning.
Pyramid and Development
The fragrance is made in the Parfum (Extrait) concentration, so its character comes across as dense, rich and long-lasting on the skin.
Perfumer Sergio Eduardo Reis created the composition, emphasizing an expressive transition from rosy radiance to dark sweetness and woody depth.
The top notes open with Damask rose and rose, creating a lush, slightly cool and spicy start without any sense of ordinary floral lightness.
Chocolate, pink pepper and vanilla appear in the heart, making the floral accord softer, more appetizing and enveloping.
The base of amber, cedar, patchouli and vetiver adds dryness, warmth and a noble bitterness to the composition, leaving behind a dense, memorable trail.
Sillage and Wearability
The sillage of Requin Tabac Rose is described as very strong, so the fragrance will suit those who like to sense their perfume from more than just close range.
It is especially impressive in cool weather, in the evening, on a date, at a formal event or in settings where rich oriental and gourmand compositions are appropriate.
In summer and in a small enclosed space, it is best to be cautious with the dosage, as the extrait develops intensely.
No precise recommendations for the number of sprays on skin or clothing are provided for this release.
To get acquainted with the fragrance's character without overwhelming the senses, it is sensible to test it first on a blotter and on skin, then assess its development over several hours.
On fabric, the rosy-ambery base may last especially long, so the properties of the material should be taken into account before application.
Olfactive Profile
In terms of its scent, Requin Tabac Rose combines oriental, floral and gourmand directions.
Amber, floral, gourmand, spicy, sweet and woody note families are prominent in the composition, while its overall style is built on a rich contrast between tenderness and strength.
The rose here is not airy and transparent, but dark, spicy and almost edible, while vetiver and cedar keep the sweetness from becoming flat.
This perfume may appeal to fans of deep rose fragrances with a chocolate-vanilla accent and a noticeable woody base.
As a reference for further exploration, consider Chanel Allure Sensuelle; however, Requin Tabac Rose smells denser, darker and more assertive thanks to its very strong sillage and extrait concentration.
Its Place in the Brand's Collection
A separate collection and other concentrations of Requin Tabac Rose are not specified.
Nevertheless, the fragrance clearly reflects the direction of Requin: a unisex presentation, an expressive compositional structure and an emphasis on a noticeable, emotional development.
This is a choice for those seeking not a neutral everyday fragrance, but a perfume with a striking rosy theme, gourmand warmth and enduring character.
