My collection

Tabac Rose appeared in 2020 at BDK Parfums, signed by Julien Rasquinet. Stephan Matthews presented it at the time as a Harrods exclusive; the house now files it among its Matières, and Aus Liebe zum Duft in its Collection Exclusive.

A velvet of rose

The house describes a velvet of rose blended with tobacco notes with praline facets, a mysterious, powerful and generous elixir, both unctuous and dense. Layers of colour, pink, red, violet and glints of gold, make up in its words a fragrance of assertive character.

Raw and noble

Julien Rasquinet speaks of a rose paired with raw things and extremely noble materials, and of a tobacco scent flavoured with notes of plum, chocolate and vanilla. He wants it as masculine as it is feminine, extremely linear and direct, very raw.

What critics say

Stephan Matthews sees in it niche perfumery at its best and Steven Gavrielatos, for ÇaFleurBon, a sensual encounter; Varanis Ridari, puzzled, finds it too heady outside winter.
