The opening is tart and spicy: sumac, lemon, black pepper, clove, and cumin, a start that stings a little before settling down. In the heart, tobacco comes in with incense, orange blossom, and patchouli, and that is where the fragrance turns to smoke and resin. The base brings together Oud, sandalwood, ambergris, musk, and tonka bean, which is what softens the tobacco and gives it its sweet side.
Oud Tobacco is a leather and amber eau de parfum from Montale, the house Pierre Montale founded in Paris in 2003 after discovering Oud in the East. Montale describes it as an accord of tonka and tobacco, soft and mysterious, with incense, Oud, and orange blossom tracing wisps, and classifies it as strong intensity on its own scale.
It asks for cold weather and night, and works best with a light hand. If you do not like incense or cumin, they are very present here. Within the house, Wood & Spices shares tobacco, tonka bean, orange blossom, and black pepper in a drier register, and Cedrat Lova puts tobacco, tonka, and Oud beneath a citron opening, for anyone who wants something brighter. A layer of Infinity on top adds plum and cherry.
