Wearing it
Rich pipe tobacco blends with sweet vanilla, warm spices, and tonka bean to create an opulent scent. Wearers celebrate its immense winter warmth and longevity, though the heavy sweetness divides some.
How far it carriesBeyond an arm’s length
It projects strongly beyond arm’s length for several hours before settling into an enveloping personal scent bubble.
“The perfume is heavy no doubt about that but I don't want to offend people around me so I keep it to 2 sprays.”
