Zaharoff Signature Leather Tabac is a bold, sophisticated, and deeply evocative fragrance that reimagines the classic leather-tobacco genre with a modern, luxurious twist. It’s a scent that combines the smoky, rugged allure of leather and tobacco with the warmth of spices, resins, and gourmand undertones, creating a fragrance that feels both vintage and contemporary. 

Zaharoff Signature Leather Tabac. What can we say? George Zaharoff loved the tremendously successful Zaharoff Signature TABAC that he wondered what experience would come out when a leather note was added. Working with Master Perfumer Claude Dir and a fresh canvas; a different type of tobacco mixed with leather fragrance was created, what George calls a "fetish leather and tobacco." 

Let your mind wander for a bit to register.

Fragrance Category:

1. Leather-Tobacco Oriental:

   • Leather Tabac is a luxurious take on the leather-tobacco genre, blending smoky birch tar, suede, and leather accords with rich tobacco and spicy-sweet undertones. It’s a scent that feels both rugged and refined, perfect for making a lasting impression.

   • The inclusion of sacred resins like myrrh and frankincense adds a spiritual, almost ceremonial depth that elevates the fragrance beyond a traditional leather-tobacco scent.

2. Spicy-Gourmand Leather:

   • The spicy opening of rosemary, sage, pepper, and star anise introduces a bold, aromatic freshness that contrasts beautifully with the smoky leather and tobacco heart. The praline and vanilla in the base add a subtle sweetness that balances the dryness of the leather and tobacco.

   • The use of globally sourced ingredients, such as Bulgarian rose otto, Ethiopian myrrh, and Chinese oud, adds a layer of complexity and authenticity to the fragrance.

Key Characteristics:

• Smoky and Leathery: Leather Tabac opens with a strong, smoky leather note from birch tar, which evolves into a suede accord and finally a smooth leather base. This creates a multi-dimensional leather experience that feels both rugged and luxurious.

• Rich Tobacco: The Virginia tobacco in the heart adds a deep, earthy richness that complements the leather and gives the fragrance a vintage, masculine edge.

• Spicy-Sweet Undertones: The star anise, praline, and vanilla add a subtle sweetness that balances the dryness of the leather and tobacco, making the fragrance more wearable and versatile.

• Sacred Resins: The myrrh and frankincense in the base add a smoky, resinous depth that gives the fragrance a spiritual, almost mystical quality.

Inspiration and Storytelling:

• Fetish Leather and Tobacco: Leather Tabac is inspired by the idea of a “fetish leather and tobacco” fragrance—a scent that evokes the allure of fine leather and the richness of tobacco, with a touch of sensuality and mystery.

• Global Sourcing: The use of ingredients from around the world—South African rosemary, Scandinavian birch tar, Bulgarian rose otto, Ethiopian myrrh, and Chinese oud—adds a layer of authenticity and cultural richness to the fragrance.

• Vintage and Refined: Leather Tabac has a vintage, refined feel that harkens back to classic leather-tobacco fragrances, but with a modern, luxurious twist.

Target Audience:

• Luxury Fragrance Connoisseurs: Leather Tabac will appeal to those who appreciate niche, high-end fragrances with unique and complex compositions.

• Fans of Leather and Tobacco Scents: Its blend of smoky leather, rich tobacco, and spicy-sweet undertones makes it ideal for those who enjoy bold, masculine fragrances.

• Sophisticated and Confident Individuals: Leather Tabac’s vintage, refined character will resonate with those who appreciate timeless elegance and luxury.

Occasions and Wearability:

• Evening and Special Occasions: Leather Tabac’s bold, smoky character makes it perfect for evening wear, formal events, or any occasion where you want to make a lasting impression.

• Cooler Weather: The warm, resinous base makes it particularly well-suited for fall and winter, though its complexity could make it wearable year-round in the right setting.

• Gender-Fluid Appeal: While it leans masculine, its sophistication and depth make it a versatile choice for anyone who appreciates its bold, luxurious character.

Comparison to Other Fragrances:

Leather Tabac stands out in the leather-tobacco category due to its unique combination of smoky leather, rich tobacco, and spicy-sweet undertones. It may draw comparisons to other luxurious leather fragrances like Tom Ford’s Tuscan Leather or Maison Margiela’s Jazz Club, but its use of sacred resins and globally sourced ingredients sets it apart. The balance between dry leather-tobacco and sweet gourmand elements makes it a truly unique and memorable fragrance.

Final Thoughts:
