Thai Tabac: Ambra Royale 15ml By Ensar Oud
Did you know EO1 is in its heart of hearts a Tabac parfum?
Not something you’d immediately call tobacco. But as you follow it closely past the polished leather, past the structure, you’d find it there. Quiet. Warm. And yes, slightly dangerous.
And now imagine taking that thread… and pulling it all the way out.
What happens when you take out all restraints and stop holding it back?
Tobacco is one of those notes that perfumery rarely lets stand on its own. It gets dressed up. Brightened, sweetened and smoothed over so it doesn’t come across too heavy, too intimate, too real. Because real tobacco isn’t easy. Its density causes it to hang and linger in the air. It doesn’t project in that loud, room-filling way mainstream frags peddle as the norm. It stays closer. Warmer. And if you’re not careful, it can completely take over a composition. So most perfumes keep it on a leash.
This one doesn’t.
