Tabac Blond destabilises with its pairing of dark, smoky accents of a typically masculine leather note, and sensual, infinitely feminine, powdery carnation. Marvellously ambiguous, this pairing oscillates between the powerful scent of skin and the softness of a flower.

First comes the Virginia cedarwood essence followed by the earthy accents of vetiver and patchouli. The very dark blend of essence of Virginia cedarwood, vetiver and patchouli, coupled with smoky cistus labdanum and styrax essence, produces a radical contrast with its floral heart, which comprises a rich bouquet of rose and ylang-ylang where the naturally spicy notes of carnation are accentuated by clove.

This Tabac Blond is a legendary fragrance that cares nothing for convention!

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.

A legend isn’t born, it’s made. Tabac Blond was carrying the seed of a masterpiece from the very start. The year was 1919. Ernest DALTROFF was well aware of the change. Inspired by these new attitudes, he dreamed up a deliberately provocative fragrance centring on the “blonde” tobacco favoured by those beautiful tomboys. The first leather-dominated fragrance in history turned out to be too innovative for the men it was designed for, but women weren’t so shy: they flocked to it, making it an emblem of their emancipation. A monument in modern perfumery, Tabac Blond smells of freedom and sharing. And it preceded gender fluidity “only” by a century.

DID YOU KNOW?
In more ways than one, Tabac Blond was a trendsetter. Its predominantly leathery sillage – unprecedented at the time – did nothing less than rise to a new fragrance family: the “leathers”. But here at Caron, we call it the “tobacco” family, in tribute to this pioneering creation.
