Our view
A lush tobacco inspired by the Orientalist period of the painter Eugène Delacroix: velvets, silks, moucharabiehs and sweets. Turkish tobacco wraps around sweet orange, amber, vanilla and beeswax. Naomi Goodsir describes it as “a treat for grown-ups”.
When to wear it
In autumn and winter, in the evening. A rich, comforting unisex fragrance.
