Tabac Exquis explores the most exquisite facets of tobacco absolute by combining it with a chocolate accord. Spiced with a hint of cinnamon, the tobacco is nestled in the burning sensuality of myrrh and the woody vibrations of ambroxan. Cocoa absolute is wrapped in a cocoon of iris and Siamese benzoin, bringing out its sweeter notes. A sensory journey in a cosy and mysterious universe, Tabac Exquis is a gourmand tobacco scent of intoxicating generosity. To wear without moderation.

Tabac Exquis pays tribute to the most gourmand facet of tobacco, inviting you into the cosy rooms of a gentlemen’s club. In a drawing room decorated with antique woodwork, leather Chesterfield armchairs draw you in to take an Epicurean break. An elegant chess set stands next to a finely carved decanter on a dark wooden table. Next to them, exquisitely flavoured squares of chocolate form the final call to temptation. Surprising and voluptuous, Tabac Exquis is an invitation to hedonism.

Did you know?  

While tobacco addiction exists, is it also possible to be a chocolate addict? According to scientists, eating chocolate activates the same neurological processes as a “real” drug: the reward circuit. Eating chocolate thus stimulates the release of dopamine in our brain.

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 Exquis, Jean JACQUES explores the most suave facets of tobacco. Using the finest quality Balkan tobacco absolute, CARON’s in-House perfumer infuses this rich, leathery ingredient with the indulgent aroma of a deliciously modern chocolate accord.
