In a nutshell

Description & review snapshot

Maison des Animaux Fragrances released Closer in 2025 as a bold tobacco gourmand. The scent opens with a contrast of sticky tropical fruit and warm vanilla, then transitions to heavy leather and musk. It offers a distinct option for those who want a sweet yet smoky signature scent for cooler autumn nights.

Reviews →

MetaScent Tabac opens with a sharp burst of smoky bergamot and cool mint before settling into a dense heart of dry tobacco leaf and lavender. A dark leather note dominates the mid-wear, resting on a base of warm amber and soft musk that stays close to the skin during cold autumn evenings.
