Tabac Blanc is one of the first fragrances to incorporate maté as its cornerstone. Overdosed in the formula, this South American plant is elevated by radiant notes of bergamot and white tea. The floral notes of jasmine and the sensual scent of white musk are then added. Cocoa bean is nudged into the spotlight through a comforting woody blanket of ambroxan, our House perfumer’s signature note. The third star ingredient comes in the form of iris, revealing hints of violet through its three most stunning qualities: concrete, irone and resinoid. Appearing as a base note, iris envelops the perfume in a powdery and delightfully elegant cocoon.

Since 1919, Tabac Blond’s deep, leathery and honey-like note of tobacco is the symbol of CARON audacity. This fragrance inspired Jean Jacques, CARON’s in-House perfumer, to dedicate an entire collection to tobacco in the Luminous Tobaccos.

A plant with a plethora of potential, tobacco holds secrets that only the perfumer can unlock. Whether picked while still green or ripe, dried, smoked or burnt, their leaves open up a wide range of possibilities. Multifaceted, tobacco absolute also reveals notes of white tea or cereals, as well as more honey-like aromas, finishing on animalistic and leathery notes.

Borrowing the CARON founder’s taste for adventurous exploration, Jean Jacques unveils, through the Luminous Tobaccos collection, the extent of this mythical ingredient’s olfactory spectrum.

La Collection Merveilleuse wears its name well. Combining the gems of our heritage with very contemporary creations, every last detail illustrates the overwhelming creativity, daring spirit, and generosity of our House. Refillable, stackable and customizable, the O bottle is our emblem. Free to be different, La Collection Merveilleuse is the most beautiful expression of French Haute Parfumerie by CARON.

With Tabac Blanc, Jean Jacques, CARON’s in-House Perfumer, chose to reveal the most radiant facet of tobacco leaf, without using a drop of tobacco absolute. To do this, he combined two exceptional ingredients: a NHS (Natural Head Space) maté from Brazil, overdosed at more than 4% in the formula and whose herbaceous scent is half way between hay, tea and tobacco, and a cocoa absolute from West Africa, with fresh tobacco notes that are sensual yet comforting. Tabac Blanc, a true olfactory illusion, playfully finds the balance between the freshness of maté and the intensity of cocoa.
